Technically, yes, if no one stops them in time. Most commercial trucks are equipped with electronic control modules (sometimes called black boxes) that record speed, braking, engine performance, and other data in the moments before a crash. This data can be some of the most powerful evidence in a case.
The problem is that this data often gets overwritten automatically within days or weeks, especially if the truck stays in service. Trucking companies aren't always required to preserve it unless they're formally notified that a claim is coming.
This is exactly why acting fast matters. Once we're retained, we send preservation requests immediately to make sure this evidence doesn't disappear before it can be analyzed.
