Legal Answer
Unless the driver was taken into custody for some reason, when the traffic investigation was completed the driver would normally be released with his rig to go on about his business. The legal aspects would be taken care of later by the insurance company or the courts. So, if the driver was not in custody and the rig was not seized, then yes, there would be no reason to prohibit him from completing his business and delivering the load the same day.
