Commentary on Rhonda May Hawkins Truck Accident in Farmers Branch
When people see a vehicle veer off-road and crash, as is described in these reports, they tend to just assume the driver was distracted, speeding, drunk, or fatigued. Those are certainly common possible factors, but it would be irresponsible to jump to conclusions without considering other possibilities.

Did the victim hit something in the road? Was there a tire blowout? Did they experience a medical emergency? Was there some kind of manufacturing defect with the vehicle? Did one of the other vehicles involved clip the victim and cause her to lose control?
Even if something seems unlikely, I've looked into just about every kind of accident one could imagine only to find police missed something important. Taking the time to ensure independent professionals look into this could be the step needed to ensure the victim's loved ones are actually getting the full story.
