I've tried searching for an article on search engines, but I get nothing. This is really important to me, as I know nothing about what happened after the accident or who killed her. Can someone tell me where I can get this information free on the web?

have you tried the newspaper sites? they may have teh archives online, though you may have to pay. What about google news? Anything there?
I'm sorry about your mother, God bless all of you.

If google has brought nothing up, I suggest you try other avenues of interest - both online and offline.
Suggestions:-
Local press: Newspapers tend to keep back issues either in print or on microfiche for decades. Some of them *MAY* have an online search facility but I would not assume it goes back to 1999 - this may be a "visit in person or don't find out" situation.
Local police: Most police forces (in most countries) would keep details of traffic accidents involving fatalities.
Coroners Office might also have information too - if they performed an autopsy.
Local vicar / priest / graveyard groundsman / local gossips also may all be useful sources of information.
I wish you luck in your search.

First you need to know the exact date of her death. Check with the local newspaper's obituary department; they should have archived information on all obituaries that they have published. Next, talk with the county clerk of the county in which she died; her death certificate should be on file, along with the coroner's report if there was one. The death certificate should give a cause of death; if there was an autopsy, information about the findings should be available in the coroner's report. As to other parties involved in the accident, there should have been a police or sheriff's report filed in the city and/or county where she died; this report should be available to you for a small fee.
My sincere sympathies on your loss.

I'd suggest visiting a library near the crash site, as a starting point. It should have archives of the local papers that would have written about it. Not all local-level papers have websites, let alone searchable archives.

Contacting the funeral home would also be a good place to start. Some cemetery directors also keep that information, I know that I keep it in a searchable database. So sorry for your loss.

Lexis-nexis, maybe. It stores lots of old articles. You might be able to access it at your local library, and if not there then at a local college's library.

If something was written about it I can probably help you - I have access to some data bases. What was her name (first, middle, last) and where did she live?
