She says the car involved was no longer at the scene of the crash when officers arrived and Charginghawk died from his injuries at the scene. “Alcohol or drugs are not suspected to be factors in the crash,” Thomas says.
The investigation is ongoing and police say any decision about possible citations or arrests will be made at the conclusion of the investigation.
