Maryland Route 27 Fatal Crash Reports

Fatal crash reports can take months to be finished.  In some cases, it can take a year for the investigation to be completed, including charges from the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office.

First, the crash team arrives on the scene of a crash and starts looking for evidence that will help them understand what happened.  The team will take data from the scene to make a diagram and try to reconstruct the automobile collision.  Next, investigators also look to get information from the automobiles to determine the speed of the vehicles and what’s happening inside the vehicles.  Finally, the crash team will subpoena documents and interview the passengers and witnesses.

Once the crash team’s investigation is complete, the report is turned over to the Carroll County State’s Attorney’s Office.  Prosecutors use that information to determine if charges are needed.
