It's an unusual accident in that all the major overseers who would normally enforce, investigate, and control this incident are a part of it (and not on the kicking end). The State of Nevada has their Rte. 95 there and the U.S. Government via Amtrak has their train. Both of these organizations are going to want to put a magnifying glass to this accident. Insurance Companies that may cover the trucking company, Amtrak, and individuals, also are going to be right in there. Sorry for how this sounds, no pun intended, but it's the best way to put it - there's a lot of heat on this one !
