The Traffic Accident Reconstruction Origin -ARnews-


Concrete Debris Impact

I have an accident in which a bobtail tractor lost control on an entrance ramp, crossed the southbound lanes of the highway and came to rest perched up on a concrete median barrier wall (jersey wall). The impact with the wall scattered pieces of the wall into the northbound travel lanes. No one can say with any certainty the size or quantity of these pieces, although the design of the wall does provide certain limits. Several northbound cars then came along and ran over this debris, causing significant undercarriage damage. One of the cars also had a minor impact with the jersey wall (the part still standing) and that driver is claiming massive injuries.

Does anyone know of any testing, studies or whatever, that might be used to estimate the severity of the debris impacts?

Thanks for your help.
