Where the State Patrol Investigation Stands
The Washington State Patrol is investigating the crash, and the cause remains under review. Investigators said drugs and alcohol were not factors in the collision. The State Patrol has not announced any citations or charges so far.
Which agency investigates often depends on where the crash happened. Highway crashes are often handled by state police or highway patrol, and crashes on city streets by local officers.
