Sgt. Robert Tyler told The Call that the accident reconstruction was completed Monday and speed does not appear to be a factor in the accident. He said investigators are trying to determine if the SUV had any mechnical problems. Tyler declined to comment on whether Clark might have been distracted.
According to court records, Clark was cited for speeding in Alburtis on May 8. The case is "inactive" because she did not enter a plea.
