Commentary on Tyler Man Truck Accident on TX-OSR in Robertson County
There are certainly some concerning details about what may have happened here, but I always try to emphasize how important it is to wait for all the facts. There's just no telling what unusual circumstances can occur.

Not long ago, for example, I was looking into a crash out in West Texas where police said a man ran a stop sign, and a truck hit and killed him. Weeks later, however, is came to light that TxDOT had removed those stop signs prior to the crash and forgot to replace them when they left for the day. So how exactly could the victim have run a stop sign that wasn't even there?
I'm not saying anything so unusual happened here, but I wouldn't rule it out without clear evidence. That should be the goal following just about any commercial truck wreck. I don't currently see any reason why this crash would be an exception.
