State Highway Patrol Lt. Brian Holt said at an evening news conference that speed was a factor, although investigators were still trying to determine the speed at the time of the accident.

Typical cop-speak. They don't know how fast the vehicle was going, but they "know" speed was a factor. But it's a provable fact that parked vehicles rarely get into accidents. Interesting, though, that the only girl in the vehicle was the driver.

“... speed was a factor”.

I know someone in law enforcement and this is what he told me. “Speed is a factor” simply because the car/vehicle was moving on impact. Let’s say you are driving 25 mph (in a 45 mph zone) and hit a tree. Speed is a factor because if the car wasn’t moving.. you wouldn’t have hit the tree. So, yes... typical cop speak.
