- The driver initially left the scene but police soon located a parked Mazda with Frankfurt plates and met the vehicle’s 23-year-old registered owner at the car’s address.
- Eyewitnesses told police the Mazda appeared to be traveling at excessive speed, a claim that remains unconfirmed and is part of the active investigation.
