At this time, additional details are unavailable. When it comes to single-vehicle accidents, a big concern is whether or not authorities are even giving it any attention. Frankly, I've lost count of how many calls I've received from families who lost a loved one in a crash, trusted authorities to get them answers, and ultimately were left with doubts and questions months down the line.
Unfortunately, this sort of crash just isn't seen as a high priority by a lot of departments. They figure the crash is usually the result of things like fatigue or distracted driving, so they move on to other responsibilities without consider other possibilities. What if there was a tire blowout? What if debris in the road caused the driver to lose control? Did they experience a medical emergency? Is there an unknown vehicle defect that requires a more thorough analysis? These things happen, and if authorities fail to consider them, they can miss something crucial.
With that said, authorities can certainly conduct thorough, proper investigations. To know if authorities are being thorough or not, a general rule of thumb I learned in my career is that if a family feels all of their questions are being answered, authorities did a good investigation. But if there are still doubts and questions, independent investigators may need to pick up where authorities fell short.
