The police stated that the breathalyzer tests for the drivers of the first and second collisions, Mr. B and Mr. C, both in their 30s, showed no signs of intoxication.

The drivers reportedly testified that heavy rain at the scene at the time of the accident prevented them from properly seeing Mr. A.
