Investigation Suspects Alcohol Involvement
Manuel Casa De La Hoya, police spokesperson, provided some insight into the accident. “Based on the marks that were left, it looks like they went off the road, lost control, went into a ditch, went airborne, apparently flipped a few times, landed, and, of course, got ejected,” he explained.
