Investigating with Limitations
According to the Pennsylvania State Police, the accident took place at 3 am in the eastbound lanes of the roadway close to the Spring Garden Exit. When rescuers arrived on the scene, they found a person lying in the roadway. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police do not know who caused the incident. But the Schuylkill Expressway SB was shut down for several hours while they investigated. Police were trying to identify both the victim and the hit-and-run driver.
How Police Gather Information
The police are requesting that anyone with information about the accident provide details. However, there are numerous strategies they can use to gather evidence about who caused the incident. That may include using area surveillance cameras, gathering witness information, and using accident reconstruction data to determine who is at fault.
Investigators can use evidence at the scene to determine what took place and then seek out evidence through third parties, including professional accident reconstruction companies who can use data to piece together what had to have happened.
