FMCSA investigators began an "on-site compliance investigation on August 14, 2025, at the motor carrier's premises in California," according to the release. "During the initial phase of the compliance investigation, investigators reviewed driver qualification files, obtained in-cab and forward-facing video footage of the crash, and conducted interviews with key personnel including the crash-involved driver."

FMCSA spoke to the driver and administered an English language proficiency test in line with the agency's new guidance on the topic published in June. The driver failed that assessment, "providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying 1 of 4 highway traffic signs."
