Right now it looks like there are more questions than answers about what happened here. Why did the victim lose control of his pickup? Was the truck disabled after hitting the barrier? Did the victim put its hazards on? Did they were? Exactly how did the other driver hit him? Was he in the road, or did the other driver swerve on the shoulder for some reason? If so, why? What's lighting like in that area at night? What about road and weather conditions? Where were both drivers earlier that night before they collided on the highway?
That's just a handful of the many questions that need answering before anyone can claim to understand this wreck. All its potential factors must be considered or there's a risk that the "official" narrative will be missing crucial details. Will police efforts alone find all those details, or should someone else step in to find out what else there is to the story?
