For this investigation there were multiple forensic disciplines involved on this case. One of the forensic disciplines that were involved were toxicology. The toxicology team worked to determine if Jessica William had any illegal substances in her body. They also worked to find if there was any impairment involved, which could have been the cause. In her case Jessica blood was found to contain “5.5 nanograms of THC, along with trace amounts of ecstasy” (Cervone, 2013). In this case in the state of Nevada if a person has more than 2 nanograms of THC in their body than they are considered impaired. Another forensic discipline that was involved would have been engineering sciences, which would try to figure out how the accident occurs when mechanics are involved such as cars and roads. Engineering sciences were able to help officers determine what the speed of the vehicle was going at when the incident occurred. With their help they were able to determine the speed of the vehicle and that it was going at a speed of 75 mph on I-15. Forensic pathology was also necessary to determine the death of the victims and identify them for the families as well as identify their wounds.

These statistics do not only apply to motorcyclists, however. Riders of mopeds and bicycles also see a reduced fatality rate when helmet laws are enforced.

This was especially apparent among children under the age of 16 where the incidence was 2/1,000,000 in states with helmet laws versus 2.5/1,000,000 in states without the laws (727). While this
