Today's article sheds much more light on this collision. Apparently the defendant's on board vehicle computer shows a speed of 83 MPH at time of impact, and that the vehicle travelled an additional 1/10 th of a mile after the collision and air bag deployment.
Obviously a speed of 83 MPH at anytime, but particularly when heavy weather and limited visibility was present, is damning evidence against the defendant.
Using data from on board vehicular computers is an interesting and rapidly growing means of obtaining evidence in cases like these.
And as can be expected, the attorney representing the defendant will attack the data that was collected.
