Commentary
It is noteworthy that the article mentions the police do not have a cause to this accident yet. This is very common in 18-wheeler accidents, as (thankfully) they are very foreign to many people. In these types of incidents, it is typically prudent to have an investigation work in collaboration with the police reports to determine a cause. Typically, liability is a shared entity between several parties, the question becomes which party is apportioned what fault.
