Frequently Asked Questions
Does speed change the outcome of a crash? Yes. Higher speed gives a driver less time to react and increases the force involved in a crash, which raises the chances of serious injury or death.
Why do officials stress seat belt use after crashes like this? A seat belt keeps an occupant from being thrown from their seat or out of the vehicle during a crash, which lowers the risk of fatal injury significantly compared to being unrestrained.
What should a family do after a fatal crash? Families can request a copy of the official crash report from the investigating agency once it's completed, and can contact the agency directly with questions about the investigation's status.
How do investigators determine what caused a fatal crash? Investigators typically examine the scene, the vehicle, any available data, and witness accounts to piece together how the crash happened before releasing findings.
