At Scene Crash Reconstruction course




I enjoyed visiting the At Scene Crash Reconstruction class in Crossville today. Lt. Buck Campbell of Cleveland was lead faculty. He skidded a Crossville police car to leave skid marks at the airport. Students measured the scene and then used a drag sled 10 times to get a friction reading so they could get a speed estimate. The also used an electronic version that sat on the dashboard to compare. The class lasts two weeks and includes more math than I could handle as a student. Those students and faculty are pretty amazing people!
