Commentary on Erin Tabor 18-wheeler Accident in Kinder
This soon after a deadly truck wreck, it's important folks don't go jumping to conclusions. Even when things seem straight-forward, there's just no telling what extenuating factors can come into play. I've seen all kinds of unusual situations throughout my career. Faulty airbags, medical conditions, missing road signage, etc.
For example, when I looked up images, I saw a memorial cross on the median from earlier this year. Could that be a sign this is a dangerous intersection? Has the community expressed concerns to local officials about this area before? That's just one example, but it's why I learned that serious wrecks like this need to be in the hands of experienced investigators as soon as possible.
