I never realized this until I passed my state's life insurance sales license test last year, but one of the reasons it may take awhile to clear away a dual-fatality car accident is because of potential issues involving wills, insurance, previous marriages and blended families. One huge issue if both a wife and husband are killed is determining who died first....even if only minutes apart. Entire financial estates and their beneficiaries may be at stake as this episode pointedly makes clear, especially if the husband and/or wife has children from a previous relationship and/or records documenting who gets what. This episode is very illuminating.
