With deadly car wrecks like this, people don't always realize just how complex things can get for investigators. A proper investigation is rarely just looking at things like cell phone records, right-of-way, speeds, and substances. It's also about looking at tire conditions, road conditions, intersection maintenance and design, potential manufacturing defects, faulty safety features like seatbelts or airbags, medical emergencies, etc.
Likely or not, prudent investigators will look into these factors for the simple reason that the evidence needs to be able to speak for itself. Hopefully authorities here understand this and are able to dedicate the time and resources to getting the victims and families here the answers they deserve.
