As indicated by police sources, the driver that rear-ended Diaz’s car will be held accountable for the crash and for the death of the victim.

Meanwhile, authorities will continue to investigate the situation to determine what factors may have contributed to the events surrounding the crash. Officials will consider if the driver had consumed drugs or alcohol prior to operating the vehicle or had simply acted recklessly.
