A few years ago one of my boys was in a very similar accident. It was the other guy who T-boned my son while he was making a left turn at an intersection.

The road conditions were dry, and there were long skid marks leading up to the impact point. Our car reportedly was up on 2wheels when it got hit, but rolled forward on the same path it was going. It was also supposed to be a 30 zone. After having to go through a couple years of legal wrangling and court, he finally admitted he "had a couple of beers" and going faster than 30, but a true speed was never determined!!

I suppose that without skid marks, and with wet pavement, it is possible to cause that much damage with a 30mph impact. There may be some calculations they could do with the distance your car was moved from the impact site. But I would expect a long drawn out court battle with the imformation you've shared with us.

I'm glad you all were able to walk away from this. Take Care Rick
