The crash remains under police investigation.
DEADLY AUTO-PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
Throughout their probe, law enforcement will attempt to find out what led the Metro Bus driver to collide with and kill Mr. Carey.
Distracted driving, driver sleepiness, vehicle malfunctions and driver mistakes are all possible causes of auto-pedestrian crashes. Not having enough experience or field training might also be a factor in these types of incidents, and operating a D.C. Metro Bus is very different than operating a smaller vehicle like a car or pickup truck.
