Wife gets the call so we head out, I am driving for sake expediency. So we arrived before Local PD. Scene was secured and I was directing traffic. and had a wrecker en route.
Local PD gets there and goes to other driver that is refusing to exit her Jeep Patriot, nor was she willing to produce proof of insurance or her license and registration. Finally she is ordered to exit her vehicle, she stumbles out can barely walk or speak with out slurring her speech. According to her our son was driving in excess of 90 mph lost control of his truck and slammed into her.
Having done accident reconstruction for a few years I kept my mouth shut despite the damage to her vehicle and our sons truck being totally inconsistent with her rendition.
At this point I am starting to loose patience with Barney and a field sobriety test was given which was an epic fail Twice For her.
Then Barney says well I really can’t say for certain who is at fault. Seriously! He says Her vehicle looks like it sustained a high speed impact.
Well Barney let me help you with the hard parts. So we go over to my sons truck , and he replays the Dash Cam footage show his speed at a Blazing 9 mph slowing down to 5 mph to make a right and you can hear his turn signal. Then you see the Jeep Patriot approaching his right Front in between the shoulder and bike lane. She pulls into oncoming traffic with no Headlights and slams into him. Then Barney Says I guess she is at fault!
By this time She was becoming quite belligerent then she attempts to drive off!
Long Story Short Dash Cams are not just for professional applications !
