Re: Ask A Police Officer

I was in a wreck recently with my Mach. In the picture below you will see the final resting place of the vehicle. I was making a left turn when a vehicle I never saw hit me. It was a 1998 Isuzu Rodeo which weighs 3800 lbs. The investigating officer said that the Rodeo was probably only going 50 - 55 mph. However, I feel that they were going alot faster due to how far my vehicle was knocked (spun) around. The investigating officer also said that there was not really anyway to really tell because there were not any skid marks. I had a view of about 100 yards and didn't see a vehicle coming at all before I proceeded to make my left hand turn. I have been trying to find out the formula for to get a rough estimate on how fast the Rodeo was going. Is there anyway someone here can help me out. Also, below is a link to more pictures of the damage to the MACH.
