One of my main concerns following any serious accident like this: was the driver able to give a statement about what happened? Generally speaking, the evidence should be a priority when investigating any car accident. But a prudent investigator will make sure those involved in the crash have their opportunity to tell their side of the story. This can be challenging if someone is seriously injured and taken from the scene without speaking to authorities, and early-morning crashes don’t always have clear witnesses. If authorities were thorough here and able to follow up with the victim, that’s a good sign they took investigations seriously. But if they simply moved on without speaking to the victim, it unfortunately wouldn’t be too surprising.
