DPS investigators continue working to determine why the Malibu crossed into the opposing lane and what circumstances may have contributed to the collision. Authorities are examining the vehicles, roadway, physical evidence, and other available information as they reconstruct what happened.
At this time, officials have not announced whether citations or criminal charges will follow. Any such determination will depend on the findings of the ongoing investigation.
