I gotta think there’s at least one camera in this area. At least one…

With all those fed. buildings there if there is no one camera that caught this accident then we’ve wasted countless billions of dollars on false security protection.

+1 to both comments, but I am going to venture to guess that this was caught on tape and it will be released to police in very short order

  Correct. Police have released a security camera photo of a white tractor trailer carrying a large wooden crate and a scissor lift. Just a matter of time before someone on the crew that received the equipment sees the photo on the news.

This is a unique configuration/load, more so than just a “white 18-wheeler”. Certainly someone involved in the load/unload/etc will see the news today.

from the video it looks like she crossed against the light, apparently the owner of the rig has come forward
