Who are the people involved in a truck accident
reconstruction process?

• The majority of truck accidents are investigated
  by 2 categories of people, and these are   
• The Police   
• Private truck accident investigators

Steps involved in a truck accident investigation
process
5
Evidence Collection

• The main motto of investigators is to do an
  accurate reconstruction of the truck accident
  that can be presented in court for
  accident-related claims.
• But for all that, they require substantial
  evidence to back themselves up. Hence, the first
  step of the traffic accident investigation
  process involves the collection of on-site
  evidence.

6
Accident Site Inspection

• The investigators would do their best to collect
  the following information from the site of the
  accident
• The ACTUAL collision location, the PRECISE
  collision time, the first person to notice the
  accident and inform the police of the same,
  weather visibility at the time of the accident,
  other collision-related information (Why did the
  collision happen? Was it a boulder? Or a tree?
  Did it happen on intention? Etc.)

Inspection of vehicles involved

• The inspection of the vehicles is done with two
  definite purposes. These are
•        
• To determine whether the vehicle was really safe
  at the time of the drive.         
• To check whether the statements of the witnesses
  support the damage done to the vehicles or not.

8
Accident Reconstruction

• So now we come to the real thing. The final step
  of the investigation deals with the
  reconstruction of the entire accident through
  means of 3D
• animated videos, evidential data, and science.

9

• Truck accident reconstruction is usually done in
  five steps
•        
• Processing the collected data
• Evaluation of hypotheses
• Creating 3D models
• Recreating the accident through the aid of
• virtual simulation (just like the video depicted
  above).
