VOICE comment:
As soon as the announcement that IHIT had been called in was made, there were two main possible scenarios:
- Someone had shot the driver or the driver as well as a passenger or both passengers, resulting in the car going out of control and crashing at a high speed.
- A father or mother or partner in some sort of distress had decided to kill members of his / her own family along with himself / herself.
The first scenario was discounted by IHIT at their press conference since their spokesperson said that the deaths were not connected to a shooting.
So the second scenario is probably what occurred.
