Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
The immediate assumption from some is likely that the truck was just going too fast here. That's important to consider, but hopefully investigators are doing a careful inspection of the truck. I see too many commercial truck wrecks where things like possible vehicle defects go completely overlooked. Likely or not, it's important to consider all of these possibilities before jumping to conclusions.
