Could be an award.....Would be all about starting a thread or transitioning this one to this topic.
May is basically right in the middle of the offseason. Seems like a fair time to start this type of talk.

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m talking about people saying he was going 80. Both cars would’ve been obliterated at that speed head on.
Valid point. In the picture from the front, you’ll notice the Brembo brakes. He could have scrubbed considerable speed from original speed to impact.First, y’all are both wrong. Second, if he was going 80. Slammed on the breaks and the collision occurred at exactly 50 mph, does it change the fact that going 80 caused the crash and the events that followed?
That could very well be the scenario but guys just saying 80 head on is ridiculous. People would’ve been in pieces. Cars cut in half etc.Im sure some, maybe even many have. I saw the aftermath of a local HS prom queen’s CRV that got rear ended by a Viper on prom night at 124MPH (calculated estimate shared in court) while sitting at a red light. It was a direct hit and wedged up underneath the CRV and ended in a ball of fire, so ya it was more damage and more gruesome pictures. But it was a solid hit vs the Durango probably missed a little bit from being a direct/solid crash with the other car moving and him probably braking/swerving.
Have there been any pictures of the passenger side of the Kia where it was actually struck? I haven’t seen it so probably a hard thing to assume. It’s literally sitting like 40 feet from the intersection it was turning into buried in a fence with kids ejected 60ft from where it would have been making the turn and impacted.
Im obviously guestimating those distances. Probably best case scenario is he was going 80, eventually saw the car and slammed the brakes and got it t down a little at impact.
My guy…thats obliterated lmfao. Her engine block is angled for gods sake.View attachment 325064View attachment 325065
U keep saying this & u’re wrong. This is the Benz that was clocked at close to 100 mph going downhill, unaliving all her victims, ripping cars into two. Guess what? She’s alive and well (in prison).
Her car was mostly intact, even after she caused a fire bomb. So u cannot keep pontificating these false claims. Furthermore, no u’re not the only one w/ “certification” on this board to make these claims.
Head on meaning front to front? No it was t boned. Likely tried to turn left and miss it and got the back side at an angle.That could very well be the scenario but guys just saying 80 head on is ridiculous. People would’ve been in pieces. Cars cut in half etc.
Based on what I see via photos, I’m of the opinion he clipped it at 60-65, the Kia spun causing the ejections and came to a stop in that yard, the Durango stalled then dragged itself that 40 feet.
And yes…clipped. I don’t believe it was fully head on.
the driver made a huge error for sure, you got to make sure you avoid right away traffic turning leftWithout knowing all facts, a parent not strapping kids in and turning without right of way, seems pretty bad to me, irrespective of how fast the other car is coming. The parent I blame more than anyone.
I agree regarding the forensics report and on-board computer data for sure - that's all that matters and they'll be able to get pretty accurate story of what happened. The side of the road radar a quarter mile away and some eye-witnesses aren't all that useful for actually assigning blame in this accident yet imo.The witness says theres a radar flashing speed of oncoming traffic a quarter mile up the road. His driving history is not in his favor either.
The actual speed is the only thing left to confirm what everyone fears and is speculating.
Those forensic investigators can get in the ballpark pretty accurately. I’ve seen people mention the computer on the Durango and all that like a black box in a plane… never heard of or knew they did that for accidents.
Yes lol. There was a change in force. It also matters how the car hit the other car. Did it slide left/Right? Did it lift the incoming vehicle? There’s a bunch of different things we would need consideration that you don’t have the experience to even think of.
Any front to side collision I’d consider a T-bone but Legally speaking the way you framed it. For the record “T-bone” would never make our incident report at least for my dept. I think it caught a good portion of the trunk to be exact.Head on meaning front to front? No it was t boned. Likely tried to turn left and miss it and got the back side at an angle.
Head on meaning squared up the t-bone - same thing, guessing he missed a little bit from a direct hit.
The witness interview I was hearing about said it was 80mph about a 1/4 mile before the accident. Could have been going faster and then braked or even slowed down already or whatever.
The actual collision speed is pointless to try to guess with all of the factors. But you can make the logical assumption that doing 80+ immediately before the wreck was the cause of the poor judgement to turn vs wait.
There’s not nearly as much speculation going on as some of you want to believe. The facts, the news reports, the witnesses, his history of speeding, and common sense are all imploring you to catch upThis thread just reenforces my feelings about how much I despise speculation, conjecture and outright bull****.

Stay out of this Rells. I like you bro. Don’t start an argument you’re not going to win especially when others that do what I do have said the same things.
I’m with you.This isn’t aimed at you, but I get so tired of the “we all did stupid stuff as teens” argument as a reason to excuse some kids’ actions. There is dumb and foolish and there is reckless and dangerous. I never did **** that stupid and reckless that ever remotely put someone at risk, and I would bet most people here didn’t either.
Count me in. Especially if the reports are true and he has been in several accidents and speeding situations. After the first, if you can't adjust and respect the road then you are a piece of crap, and they need to boot him off the team asap.I’m with you.
Everyone’s commenting but was our guy the cause?!U’re a funny guy.
Car insurance companies determines who is at fault in a car accident. They can look at the damage done to the vehicles and determine at fault even without a police report.This is true however the insurance company can’t determine who’s at fault until they get a police report
