For about as long as there have been fatal accidents leading to criminal charges, there have been accident reconstruction experts testifying in court as to what exactly went wrong.
The experts, often members of state police teams brought in by prosecutors, figure out who was at fault by examining skid marks, vehicle damage, or black boxes in cars that contain an array of data, including speed at impact. While all this information may help juries reach their decisions, the fact of the matter is jurors must still use their own imaginations to try to picture exactly what happened.
