Video of a crash i obvious a crucial piece of evidence to secure. What isn't clear, though, is if officers simply watched the video or if they downloaded it so the victim's loved ones could have that vital piece of evidence. It always surprises people when officers say they saw video of a crash only to find out no one actually saved it. Regardless of what happened here, it's important for the victim's loved ones to have all the facts. Securing evidence and having it available to the family should always be a priority.
