As we reported, Sheriff’s Deputy John Schloegl also told to USA Today that the department is investigating data from the car to determine if criminal charges should be processed.
“We’re trying to determine if a crime was committed,” Schloegl said, per USA Today. “If somebody is involved in a traffic collision, we’ve got to reconstruct the traffic collision, if there was any reckless driving, if somebody was on their cell phone or something like that. “We determine if there was a crime. If there was no crime, we close out the case, and it was a regular traffic collision.”
This contradicts Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, who said it was “purely an accident.”
