this car is also a couple of feet over the center line. now comes the view from the fourth car driven by a key eyewitness, mona crocker, who told mait investigators she had seen the accident happen. she testified that at no time did she see any of the three secret service cars cross the center line. she also testified that she saw the accident occur. kayfetz s reenactment told a different story. so this is mona crocker s viewpoint. and what s important here is that, although the lead car ahead of her goes halfway over the center line, straddles the center line, from her viewpoint, that is never visible because it s around the curve and over the hill. crocker thought she could see the position of the cars. in fact, she could not.
momentum is determined by multiplying each car s speed by its weight. the investigators knew the weights of both cars. by measuring the distance and direction they had slid, their rotation, and the amount of friction, they were able to calculate their post-impact speeds. 30 miles per hour for the sheriff s car, 24 miles per hour for the secret service. next, they looked at the angle at which the two cars had collided. the angle of impact in this particular collision evaluation was critical to determining how this collision took place. mait calculated that the two cars collided at a ten-degree angle, almost directly head-on. they already knew the direction the sheriff was traveling from the skid marks, so the angle of impact allowed them to calculate the path of the secret service car. ten-degree approach angle between these two vehicles
places the secret service dodge aries within its lane of travel, and moving slightly from left to right as a potential evasive tactic as impact takes place. eyewitness testimony established that the secret service agents were driving at around 35 miles per hour. the critical question was how fast was deputy sinclair driving? sinclair claimed he was going 55 or 60 miles per hour. applying the laws of conservation of momentum, mait calculated he was actually doing 76 miles per hour. when he came into that curve, his vehicle was out of position for the speed that he was traveling. when he saw traffic coming at him in the eastbound direction, he simply didn t have enough distance or enough time to safely negotiate the curve. he panicked, locked up the brakes on the patrol car. once he did that, the patrol car slides straight across the
