On a transportation corridor in western Iran, a Saturday collision set off a chain of events that no road was built to contain — a fuel tanker ignited, exploded, and took at least ten lives with it.

As investigators begin to reconstruct what happened, the deeper question — how societies protect those who move through their most dangerous arteries — remains unanswered.
