While details aren’t confirmed right now, authorities mentioned looking into alcohol as a possible factor. It’s possible authorities just brought this up because it’s standard procedure for them to investigate alcohol. When it is a factor, though, it can make situations like this rather complex. For example, if an alcohol provider over-serves someone, and it leads to them getting themselves or someone else hurt, that provider can be responsible for a resulting crash. Could it be that happened here? Like I said, it’s not clear right now, but it’s important t make sure that’s something investigators are at least able to rule out.
