It was not confirmed whether he had an attorney.[^11]\n\n## What changed overnight\n\nThe early account was more cautious. Police were investigating whether the collision was intentional or accidental.[^12] Officers were testing whether the driver was under the influence.[^13]\n\nThe reports also differ on the vehicle and on the driver's injuries.
