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.

In version one of this accident reconstruction the driver of the blue car is shown trying to overtake the two transit vans, failing, and forcing the oncoming green car to take evasive action.

The 3d illustration shows several camera angles which all support this version of events.

However, the opposing argument demonstrated that the driver of the green car had veered into the line of oncoming traffic, forcing the driver of the blue car to avoid the collision with the red transit van.

This had to be created as a seperate animation and the two versions of events were held up to scrutiny by the legal teams.
