Commentary on Truck Accident on Highway 46 in Kendall County
A truck veering into oncoming traffic like this is almost always a sign the driver made a mistake. However, folks shouldn't take that to mean this sort of thing is always simple or straight forward.
For example, I had a crash a while back where a truck driver lost control while on his cell phone. That seemed pretty darn open-and-shut, but we found out he'd been texting his supervisor. This guy would constantly hound his employees all day, and if they didn't respond immediately he'd essentially threaten to fire them. It was inevitable these actions would lead to someone getting hurt, and that's exactly what happened.
Maybe nothing so unusual happened here, but folks should always be mindful of what questions their investigators are asking and what may be slipping through the cracks.
