And to answer "concerned one," the "root cause" is cited right there. The DRIVER, who OPERATED the truck that hit them, was CITED for failure to use due care. The ROOT CAUSE of this accident was identified by the responding police officer.<quoted text>
Aftre leaving Dolphin Stadium on Sunday, Dolphins middle linebacker Zach Thomas and his wife were rear-ended heading northbound on Florida's Turnpike in Hollywood.

Reyes said no injuries were reported. Thomas' Mercedes had to be towed from the accident.
You must have read it wrong.
I think "concerned one" is the type that if a felon broke into my house and threatened me an my family, and I pulled a firearm and killed that felon, the incident would be blamed on the firearm or me, but somehow NOT the criminal who is actually performing a CRIMINAL act.
