“You just ask yourself, like, ‘Nate, what happened? Nate, what happened?’,” he said. “Did he get cut off? Was there something down there that he had to swerve from? The one thing I can say is that he wasn’t a careless driver.”
National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators arrived at the scene of the collapse Sunday evening.
“Today, the team began gathering data about the truck, and contacted the motor carrier about its fleet operation,” the NTSB said in a statement posted to Twitter on Monday. “The team also started gathering information from emergency response teams on the sequence of events.”
The fire was extinguished by 7:30 a.m.
