A young boy was riding a bicycle down a sloped residential driveway and traveled out into the street, where he was broadsided by a truck traveling in the far lane. Impact evidence established the precise location of both vehicles at the moment of impact and our analysis of post impact skid marks proved the truck was speeding. Based on this, we were able to show that if the pickup had been going the speed limit, the driver could have avoided the impact and the accident would have not occurred.
A motorist was proceeding through a signal-controlled intersection when a bicycle coming from his left side rode in front of him and was struck by the front of his van. We inspected the scene and analyzed the traffic signal timing and showed that the van driver had a green signal and that the cyclist must have entered the intersection long after his light changed to red. We also showed that a left turning vehicle blocked the van driver’s view of the bike, explaining why he could not anticipate the bike and avoid the impact.
