What Happened
An electrician’s commercial van rear-ended a family in their car on Highway 97 in Redmond, Oregon, causing a fatality.
It happened in the afternoon, on a clear day. The family’s small four-door car was stopped with its left turn signal on, waiting to make a left turn. The driver of the van was speeding and not paying attention, and ran into the back of their car.
Reconstructing the Crash
An engineer was hired to investigate and reconstruct the accident. Data downloaded from the black boxes in both vehicles gave a clearer picture of what caused the crash. It showed the force of the impact and, from that, how fast the van was going when it hit the family’s car.
