A multi-vehicle crash like this is sure to leave behind a chaotic accident scene. That's the sort of thing that requires careful analysis and state-of-the-art tools to ensure no important evidence slips through the cracks. Sometimes, that's not something authorities can handle on their own.

The fact of the matter is officers aren't always given the time, tools, or training that independent accident reconstructionists have. So if they're left in charge of a wreck they don't have the means to investigate, they might miss things the victims and families need preserved. So, have authorities here been able to handle things okay, or will getting answers require independent investigators?
