Investigators will meet with the driver of the accident vehicle when his condition permits. As for the other vehicle involved in the race, its occupants did not suffer any injuries. Its 18-year-old driver, however, will be interviewed by police, as will several witnesses.

Two accident reconstruction experts from the SQ will analyze the scene to shed light on this incident.
