While no other details are confirmed right now, authorities mentioned investigating alcohol as a possible factor. That could just be standard procedure for these authorities following any fatal wreck. When it is a factor, though, it can create a significantly challenging situation. That's because many alcohol-related accidents involve negligent alcohol providers who illegally over-served someone. Those providers can be responsible when they contribute to deadly accidents, which is something that too often slips through the cracks if authorities are too narrow in the scope of their investigations. Perhaps authorities here have been more thorough than usual, but it wouldn't be unusual if there turned out to be more to this story.
