An accident almost exactly like this one happened a couple blocks from my house a couple months back.


Every single view from a camera that was logged as evidence said that the truck driver was not paying attention and just ran a red causing the accident.


Final determination after investigation: Right before the light changed, the cement truck's trailer had come uncoupled and he had no way of stopping it, so it essentially just pushed the cab through the intersection.


Moral: Don't believe everything you see.
