An investigation is ongoing into the circumstances surrounding an accident that claimed three lives in the lake area. The March 22nd crash on Highway 5 occurred when a vehicle went left of center and struck another vehicle head-on. The Highway Patrol says they’re conducting a complete forensic reconstruction of the accident. It’s a routine investigation that will allow them to analyze data from the vehicles including speeds and any evidence of braking at the time of the accident. The investigation also includes a forensic examination of data collected from cell phone usage. The patrol hopes to be able to piece together what was going on when the vehicle crossed the center line. The wreck killed 33-year old Jessica Brazil of Camdenton, her two-year old son Malachi, and 32-year old Amber Metcalf of Versailles.
