Overall, it is shoddy writing. A pet peeve of mine is on display:
"The victim suffered critical injuries but died after reaching the hospital."
The use of "but" here is confusing. It's the wrong conjunction. The author meant "and," as if to say "there were critical injuries and the outcome you expected was what happened," rather than "there were critical injuries, and contrary to what you would expect to have happened, what you expected to have happened did indeed happen."
