He could have had a medical complication. He could also have erred in thinking that the trailer would have cleared the path in time, or in thinking the car would have braked for him, or in perhaps his reaction time was insufficient. I have no idea. None of the items on my brainstormed list strike me was weird.

Tesla doesn't have to, but the skeptic in me observes that it is all too easy to spread misinformation (that would benefit them) through the technology press before the investigation is completed. I personally don't see an advantage for Tesla to speak at this stage since there are serious product liability issues in play, but I admittedly don't get Tesla in general.
