Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
The chaos of a crash involving this many vehicles can't be understated. Investigations have to consider all vehicles involved in an accident, and that takes serious time and effort. Sometimes, authorities aren't willing or able to put in that kind of work. Instead, they sometimes move on without getting all the facts or just jump to conclusions without considering all sides of the story. It can be important, then, to ask key questions about the authorities' efforts.
Did investigators have the time, tools, and training to fully analyze the crash? A six-vehicle accident, especially one involving a commercial truck, requires a careful reconstruction of vehicle movements, road conditions, and possible contributing factors. If authorities rushed through their investigation or lacked the resources to properly assess the scene, important details may have been missed.
Did they consider whether a vehicle defect played a role? Mechanical failures—such as faulty brakes, steering malfunctions, or tire blowouts—can contribute to multi-vehicle accidents. Additionally, if seatbelts or airbags failed to deploy properly, injuries may have been more severe than they should have been. Were the involved vehicles inspected before critical evidence was lost?
Did authorities secure all available electronic evidence? The tractor-trailer and other vehicles likely had Engine Control Modules (ECMs) that stored key data on speed, braking, and steering inputs before impact. GPS records, cellphone data, and nearby security or traffic cameras could also provide valuable insight. If investigators didn’t act quickly to preserve this information, crucial evidence may have been lost.
If authorities can address these kinds of questions with clear evidence, it's likely that they've done good, thorough investigations. However, if their answers fall short or leave doubts, that can be a sign that there may need to be a second set of eyes looking things over. Either way, this helps to ensure that victims and families get the answers they deserve.
