OHP investigators said they originally estimated the investigation's completion date for ten weeks after the crash. This week, however, authorities said the collision's complexity is a factor in the delay and advanced forensic testing of evidence is required.

When the investigation is completed, it will be presented to the Murray County District Attorney's office.
