In an affidavit of probable cause, police detailed their investigation — including what happened in the moments and months following the crash. An autopsy later determined Tome died of multiple blunt force injuries, including multiple fractures, head and spinal trauma. Investigators in the affidavit said they later determined Shoff was going 90 mph when he lost control while going over a hill. He was going about 72 mph when he crashed, according to the affidavit.
Shoff started speeding after the trio left a couple other friends they’d been hanging out with that night, his front-seat passenger told police. When investigators asked whether Shoff had been trying to “catch air” before the crash, the passenger said, “yeah, to tell you the truth he said he was going 60 but I think he was going 80 or 85... I told him to slow down,” according to the affidavit.
