Head-On Collision

A two-vehicle head-on collision occurred on a two-lane roadway.  Gouge marks were located along the center stripe.  The driver of the white BMW was knocked unconscious and was not able to recall the incident.  The driver of the red Chevrolet stated that the white BMW entered his lane and he attempted to avoid it by steering left.

The Chevrolet deposited skid marks that initiated within the westbound lane and ended near the point of impact.  There were no pre-impact skid marks deposited by the BMW.  Data collected from the Chevrolet’s air bag control module indicated the Chevrolet was traveling 47 mph prior to an abrupt left steer input and the application of the brakes.
