When my ex worked for SES, and attended road deaths (especially ejected driver accidents) they HAVE to work over every little section in metre by metre squares and pick up everything.
Wait for squads to analyse the skid marks, road damage, clean oil and petrol spills (which are awfully dangerous if not cleaned properly), collect car contents that might have been thrown out of the car for the investigation and coroner.
Some of these squads have to travel a fair distance to get to the site.
So, I can understand the frustration but there is usually something going on that warrants that kind of road closure.
