It's not clear right now why exactly this 18-wheeler was stopped on the roadway or what steps were taken—if any—to clearly mark the obstruction. Those are crucial factors to investigate in accidents like this, and I had a case not long ago that's a perfect example of why.

In that incident, a truck broke down on the highway, blocking a lane of travel. When we dug into the truck's maintenance history, we found out the truck hadn't been serviced for months. It was all but inevitable something would go wrong, but the company simply kicked that can down the road until it ended in disaster.

On top of that, the truck driver made critical errors. For one, he never put out cones or flares to clearly mark the obstruction. That's not just part of a truck driver's basic training—that's required by federal regulations. And to make matters worse, the driver never even had to stop in the middle of the roadway. The mechanical issue was such that the driver could have found somewhere safe to pull off the roadway. Instead, the driver panicked and immediately stopped, unnecessarily impeding traffic.

That example helps to show that it's not just about knowing what happened; it's about knowing why it happened. If authorities are examining maintenance records, examining the driver's training and history, inspecting the truck to preserve evidence, and otherwise digging beyond just the surface level details, then they may be able to get the full story. In my experience, though, getting that information requires more thorough independent accident reconstructions.
