Obviously, authorities need to be hard at work looking into why this awful event happened. The victim isn't around to tell their side of the story, which means there needs to be clear evidence to do that on the victim's behalf. But more than that, there can be factors beyond the cause of the crash that need attention.

One that this accident brought to my mind is the issue of 18-wheeler rollovers. A problem that doesn't get enough attention in the public is many manufacturers failing to protect their customers. A lot of 18-wheelers which should be able to withstand a given rollover simply collapse due to lazy construction. This leads to drivers who would otherwise be okay suffering serious or fatal injuries.

Could it be that something like that contributed to this crash? That's going to depend on the evidence, but it remains to be seen if authorities are truly being as thorough as they need to be in order to get this person's family the answers they deserve.
