Investigators were able to determine the teen was in the driver's seat based on the size of the remains inside the truck, according to Landsberg.Landsberg said his team is going through all of the evidence at the scene, including vehicle recorders, but it does appear that the incident was"very clearly a high speed, head-on collision."
