Commentary on Rodney Brosius Tractor-trailer Accident in Sunbury
These reports seem pretty straight-forward, but it's important folks understand just how little initial reports tell us about a fatal truck wreck. Even if the details included here are true, there's no telling what other factors could be at work. Were there issues with visibility? With the victim's vehicle? Was the truck's speed a factor? Did the victim's seatbelt and airbag function properly? Is this particular crossing unusually dangerous? Even if something seems unlikely, a grieving family at least deserves to know they're getting the full story. It remains to be seen if that's happening here or if more thorough independent investigations will be necessary.
