The police did ask questions about driver fatigue and working hours, but arrived at conflicting or inconclusive answers. "The key one was: there was no health safety or workplace report done." This affected at least two other investigations into fatals - the Turoa skifield bus crash of mid-2018, and a Desert Road crash at Easter that year that killed two boys. The Pattinsons have now asked the coroner to look into the lack of a health and safety investigation.
