Eyewitnesses described the scene in fragmented but consistent details: a sudden swerving, a moment of distraction, and rapid emergency response. While official reports remained silence, local authorities later acknowledged a “vehicular incident” but declined to elaborate due to ongoing investigations.

Clips captured in near-centimeter clarity show the Malibu colliding forcefully with a guardrail during a sudden downpour. “This isn’t just damage—it’s visible shock deformation consistent with a high-impact collision,” explained specialized accident investigator Marcus Reed, whose analysis was cited by multiple outlets. Accelerometer data extracted from the vehicle suggests speeds surpassed safe limits, while dashcam footage from a nearby truck further corroborates the abrupt deceleration.

Though not labeled “Blake’s car” publicly, vehicle registration records and vehicle ID confirm a near-identical match to Shelton’s registered Malibu.
