Fatal accident and manhunt for the driver of a stolen vehicle involved in the crash.
The deceased was not in the stolen car so it seems like a case of a car thief killing an innocent bystander.

Doesn’t explain such a long closure. Time will tell of course.

Fatal collision investigation, forensic examination and reconstruction takes time

Repair work cannot start until that is finished

Forensics, partner agencies etc, I’ve seen roads closed for longer when it’s a fatality.
Bit of a convenience for commuters but at the end of the day some innocent person has lost their life.

Sure. And my op wasn’t one of complaining.
It just seems long in contrast to my other experiences, 3-4 hours. Hence asking for insight.
