Commentary
People tend to overlook single-vehicle wrecks, but they can involve very complex factors. That's especially truck with commercial vehicles. They're a lot more intricate than typical cars, and there can be a lot of outside factors to consider. Was the truck being maintained well? Was the driver being pressured to meet unreasonable deadlines? Did a tire blow out? Has the truck been inspected for defects? Have authorities looked into electronic data from the truck's Engine Control Module (ECM)? Were there any onboard cameras? If authorities can't answer these questions, then they may be overlooking something important.
