Accident Information

Authorities are working hard to determine what specifically caused the crash. Forensic teams will examine photographs of the crash site and inspect the Toyota, the Mercedes, and the third vehicle for mechanical issues or system failure. Officials will also consider if drunk driving, drug abuse, negligence, distracted driving, or reckless behavior played any part in the events leading up to the crash. Authorities have not specified if one, two, or all three drivers will be held liable for the accident.
