How Crash Reconstruction Helps Explain Serious Roadway Collisions
After a deadly crash, investigators examine evidence from the scene to understand how the vehicles moved before, during, and after the impact. Vehicle damage, roadway markings, debris patterns, and other physical evidence can help create a timeline of the collision.
Investigators may also review witness accounts and available video footage to gather additional details. Factors such as road conditions, vehicle speed, and driver actions may be considered as officials work to develop a clearer picture of what happened.
