People often see a crash involving a truck stopped along the shoulder and figure things are open-and-shut. Treating a fatal accident as such is just asking to let something important slip through the cracks. There could be all kinds of unusual factors to consider, and it takes thorough consideration of the evidence to properly rule out. If authorities here are being too hasty in their investigations, they could leave a family with doubts and questions at a time when they most deserve answers.
