Cause of the Phelan Road Crash
The California Highway Patrol is the agency investigating this head-on collision. If news accounts of the March 10th incident are accurate, Suzy Ko is likely responsible for this collision, because she allowed her vehicle to drift into westbound traffic and strike another vehicle head-on. However, the official cause of the crash has not yet been determined.
