A large piece of furniture fell off a pickup truck onto a busy three-lane highway. An approaching car and motorcycle avoided striking the furniture but the driver of the car then lost control and began spinning along the highway, causing a collision with the motorcycle. Based on a detailed accident reconstruction, we showed that despite the motorcycle's maneuverability, the rider could not have reasonably been expected to avoid striking the car, which acted as a moving target traveling in an unpredictable motion.
A sedan making a left turn with a green light at a signalized intersection collided with an oncoming motorcycle, causing the rider to be thrown over the car and suffer fatal injuries. Prior to the impact, the motorcycle rider applied his brake, creating a 58' skid mark. Technology associates performed a motorcycle braking analysis, which revealed that the rider only used his rear brake prior to the collision and had he performed a proper application of both brakes, the impact would have been avoided.
