 V-01 causing the previously mentioned damage. D-01 made contact with D-02 and a few moments later a
female adult came out of a residence screaming. This female adult turned out to be the wife of D-02.

D-02 was contacted at the scene and stated in essence that he was driving V-02 N/B on Sierra Madre Avenue
after exiting the driveway of his residence located south of the accident scene. He stated he was attempting to
make a left turn onto Avenida Vejar when all of a sudden he was struck by V-01 on the left side of his vehicle.
He said he did not see V-01 prior to the collision but believed V-01 was going at an unknown high rate of
speed, like 25 to 30 MPH.

Opinion and Conclusions:

Summary:
D-01 was driving V-01 N/B on Sierra Madre Avenue at a approximate speed of 25 MPH approaching the “T”
intersection with Avenida Vejar, at the same time D-02 was driving V-02 N/B on Sierra Madre Avenue Stopped
on the right side of street, as V-01 was approaching V-02, D-02 attempted to make a left turn or a U turn and
at this point both vehicle collided.

This is based on statements and the damage to the involved vehicles.

Opinion:
D-02 caused this collision by traveling at an unsafe speed for approaching traffic and merging into traffic in a
unsafe manner. This is a violation of the California Vehicle Code .This resulted in the left front side of V-02 to
collide into the right side of V-01.

Recommendation:
That D-02 be held responsible for the damage to V-01 because D-02 caused this collision by failing to yield to
approaching traffic and traveling at an unsafe speed for approaching traffic, which is a violation of the
California Vehicle Code
