My son was there as a first responder and extracted the victims. He was privy to what happened from those involved and who saw it and investigated it.
I don't mean to call you a liar, but this smells of nonsense. I worked as a patrol officer for over 12 years and have investigated thousands of accidents, from minor fender benders to multi car fatal collisions. Most jurisdictions have dedicated reconstructionists that actually investigate fatal wrecks. Being a first responder to the scene, like I was, wouldn't make you any more privy to the investigation than some guy standing on the other side of the road watching. Investigations take days or even weeks... its not CSI where everything happens and gets wrapped up in an hour....

....Do you catch my drift? Its super easy to post a picture and an uninformed opinion. Doing so does not make it proof of negligence or speed.
I am not sure I would consider it an "uninformed opinion". He said his son is a first responder who talked to the people who actually investigated the accident. I've been to a few accidents, most are "solved" at the scene with the interviews, vehicle positions, damage, etc. What takes days or weeks is the paperwork. Maybe your department had enough personnel to spend weeks solving MVAs, my local PD doesn't have that many people, but then again I wouldn't be surprised if it is just a case of different SOPs.
