As indicated, officials are still attempting to piece together a potential cause for the accident. As part of the ongoing investigation, forensic teams will inspect the vehicle and examine photos of the crash site to determine if the driver had experienced mechanical failure or a system malfunction, forcing the vehicle out of control and into the path of the pedestrian. Likewise, officials will consider if drugs, alcohol, negligence, recklessness, or wrongdoing played any role in the events leading up to the crash.

By law, drivers are obliged to decrease the speed of their vehicles and provide the right of way to pedestrians along all areas of the roadway.
