Two Sides To Every Road Traffic Accident Story
There are usually two sides to every story and road traffic accidents are no exception. In version one of this reconstruction shown above, the driver of the police car has taken a corner moving into the centre of the road. The oncoming Landrover, whose driver was from the European mainland, is shown driving on the wrong side of the road.
However, in the second version of the reconstruction seen below, a similar outcome is explained in completely different terms.
This time the driver of the police car has taken a corner and ended on the wrong side of the road. The oncoming Landrover is forced to take evasive action.
Working backwards from the collision point and taking into account all the forensic evidence including road marks, we were able to show that both scenarios were plausible. And the virtual 3d cameras were able to be placed at specifically strategic points in order to show the possible paths taken by the cars as well as both drivers’ points of view.
