One can only hope authorities worked diligently behind the scenes to get clear answers here. It would surprise folks how often I had families come to me about complex accidents where authorities gave them just as little as they released to the public.
The fact of the matter is some crashes slip through the cracks, and it might be up to more thorough independent professional investigators to get clear answers. That's why it can be prudent for victims and families to follow up with authorities as soon as possible and find out if their accident is in good hands or if they need outside help to step in and pick up the slack.
