We’re told Yared’s injuries were consistent with those that could have occurred during a scooter crash.

Dr. Cohle adds that Yared had severe internal injuries and bleeding in the abdominal region, and that she had a blood alcohol concentration of .340, which was ruled as an instrumental factor in her passing.

A minor cut was noted near Yared’s eye, Dr. Cohle explains, adding no additional head injuries were present.
