What Information Is Typically Reviewed After a Major Interstate Crash?
Major roadway crashes can involve several factors that investigators examine when determining what happened. These may include vehicle positions, damage patterns, roadway conditions, weather, traffic flow, and available photographs or video.
Vehicle records can also provide useful information about mechanical issues or recent maintenance. Statements from drivers, passengers, or witnesses may help establish what occurred before the vehicles came together.
