Doug Boulton, a former traffic officer who now working as a forensic accident investigator, said police would comb the entire 300m-long crash scene for evidence.
"They will want to know if there are any marks on the road from the vehicle, they will want to plot every impact with either the people involved or whether or not the vehicle has hit any street furniture," he told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland.

"When something happens in a town centre like that, a lot of shops have CCTV and I'm sure they'll be going round and getting all the CCTV to see if there's a little bit of that lorry going down the road.
"If people have any video footage then they must give it to police so that they can collate everything."
The George Square area will be closed for two to three days because once it has re-opened all the evidence will be lost, he added.

Scotland Correspondent, BBC NewsA metal police cordon now hides yesterday's scene of devastation. The bin lorry remains where it finally came to a stop after crashing into the font of the Millennium Hotel.
It careered through one of Glasgow's busiest city centre streets on one of its busiest days. Witnesses told of scenes of carnage as shoppers tried to flee. One said the driver was slumped at the wheel.
Flowers donated by the people of Glasgow have been arriving throughout the night.
We understand that the bodies have all now been removed from the site.

The first minister added: "The emergency services have been on the scene all night. The bodies of those who sadly lost their lives have now been taken away from the scene. There will be a process of formal identification still to go through today.
"Clearly it is the priority of all those involved to find out what caused this incident and give the families of those involved the answers they are seeking."
'City with a broken heart'published at 07:51 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2014
The first minister paid tribute to the "absolutely remarkable" response of the people of Glasgow.
She said: "I think all of us on our televisions were again struck by just how readily people run into a scene of potential danger to help those who have been injured, those who have been affected. There was a sense in the city last night of everybody rallying round.
"There is something quite incredible about the spirit in this city. Everybody knows it is a city with a big, big heart. This morning it is a city with a broken heart but it will get through this as it got through the Clutha tragedy."
'Very raw'published at 07:49 Greenwich Mean Time 23 December 2014
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who is a Glasgow MSP, told BBC radio's Good Morning Scotland: "As the city wakes up this morning the sheer sense of horror and grief at what happened will be very raw.

I know that everyone across the city, across Scotland, across the UK, will be thinking of them today."
