On March 15, 2010, a single vehicle truck accident turned fatal for an Alexandria, Virginia man. The driver of the truck crashed into a tree in the center median of the northbound lanes and was pinned inside the vehicle for a period of time. He was rescued by the Arlington County Fire Department and was transported to Fairfax Hospital for injuries. The driver later died of those injuries. An accident re-constructionist was called to the scene to help determine the cause of the accident.
If skid measurements were taken by an expert, the speed at impact could have been determined. Proper measurements, done timely, with eye witness testimony, could assist in determining if the driver in this accident just lost control of his vehicle, if he was cut off by another driver, or even if his vehicle was not working properly.
