In the aftermath, investigators from multiple agencies began piecing together the sequence of events that led to the disaster. Their focus turned first to the trailer at the heart of the collision. Early evidence suggested that the vehicle’s braking system may have failed — but whether due to mechanical defect, lack of maintenance, or human error remains unclear.
The driver, who survived with injuries, is being questioned by authorities. Preliminary statements indicate he tried to slow down but lost control when his brakes didn’t respond. He reportedly shouted warnings over the radio moments before impact, but by then it was too late.
