It is such a shame that people spend their time speculating during such a tragedy. It is one thing to form an opinion, but to contribute to rumors that only cause increased pain of the survivors is inexcusable. No one knows what happened that day except the people involved and they all experienced a life changing trauma that day. Until you can stand in those shoes, please do not speculate what any of them are going through during this tough time. No one here has the facts straight. It was a horrific accident. Leave it at that and turn your speculation into prayer. God has a plan.
