The road was shut down for several hours following the accident so that police could carry out their investigations and so that the debris from the accident could be safely removed. Several hours after police arrived on the scene, the road was reopened for normal traffic.
Rollover crashes often result in serious injuries or fatalities due to the fact that the head often sustains trauma. That appears to be what caused death to the Individual in the car during this accident.
Right now, police do not know if drugs and/or alcohol was involved in causing this accident, whether the person was speeding, or whether the person was distracted while driving. All that is known is that the driver lost control of the vehicle and the car rolled over, causing a fatal injury.
