Details about the circumstances of the fatal incident are not provided in the excerpts supplied, but the inquest testimony referenced by both publications focuses on her actions in relation to the previous crash and the road closure attempt. The outlets also note that Turnbull followed her father into policing. An inquest is considering the facts surrounding her death, with attention on the sequence of events leading up to the fatal incident.
