What the Sheriff's Office Investigation Involves
Deputies with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office are looking into how the crash unfolded. No charges have been announced, and the office has not released further details about what the investigation has found.
Police usually wait to release the names of the people involved until their families have been told. That is why names often come out a day or more later.
