When people think of crashes that would get the most attention in the news, it's usually fatal commercial vehicle accidents. But crashes like this one still slip through the cracks. The question is if news stations simply overlooked it or if the lack of public information is a sign that authorities haven't given the crash the attention it deserves.

A lot of the time when families call me with doubts and concerns, it relates directly to authorities not giving them the answers they need. Sometimes, it's a lack of resources, like equipment and training. Other times, authorities just feel they have other problems to worry about.

This is when independent investigators can step in and fill in the blanks. If authorities aren't able to address a family's concerns, a second pair of eyes can help pick up the slack and ensure all the facts are brought to light. The same could still be true for this crash.
