Standish Crash Results in Fatality

December 30, 2009: 63-year-old David Warren was killed Wednesday when the PT Cruiser he was driving collided with a van driven by 50-year-old Robert Simocko on River Road in Standish. Simocko was rushed to Maine Medical Center, where he is listed in fair condition.

In this type of serious case, it is critical to conduct an accident reconstruction as soon as possible to preserve necessary evidence. For example, one of the best ways to determine whether speed was a factor in the accident is to examine and measure skid marks. Skid marks become markedly less visible as time passes, particularly if snow falls and the road is plowed. In addition, the damage to the vehicle is an excellent indicator of the speed of the vehicle immediately prior to impact, so it will be important to preserve the vehicle. At Peter Thompson & Associates, we have investigated hundreds of serious collisions and had the very best accident reconstructionists in the field determine how and why an accident occurred.
