The police technicians found no signs of breaking before the collision, Alpine A110 belonging to (anonymised) went almost straight through the bend. The driver turned hard left, but due to the speed he was travelling at, was unable to avoid the tree when the car lost the grip.

About thirty meters before the bend, there was one big splash on the asphalt of what looked like the brake fluid from the Alpine, which suggests the brake line burst once the drive hit the brakes just before entering the bend.

The calculations suggest that the Alpine could have been travelling at the speed of around 110 kph.

According to the coroner, (anonymised) most likely died almost instantly due to the huge force of the impact, which threw him against the steering wheel and the front panel.

Further analysis of the car indicated that the brake line at the front right wheel had mechanical damage, which might have caused the burst of the brake fluid. The regular edges of that damage suggest that the line was partially cut using a sharp object. This might have caused the fluid to slowly leak out of the system, and the pressure the diver applied just before the crash burst open the line and caused the break servo to fail to apply the brakes.

The dealership that the car originated from did not notice any problems with the car, nor any signs of the fluid, which means the damage must have been caused after the car left the showroom. Due to the location of the damage in a spot that is difficult to get access to, it is unlikely that it was caused by a regular car use.

To access that particular spot, it is necessary to get under the car and remove a cover, which suggests it was done deliberately by someone with enough knowledge to do so.

The search operation in the garage of the victim’s house found evidence of brake fluid present on the concrete floor and on the cover of the garage pit, which suggests that the brake line in the car was damaged before (anonymised) left the house.
