As I mentioned earlier, the speed limit on that stretch is probably 40-45 mph.

How fast was he traveling?

Lets see, investigators on the scene stated it appeared the vehicle traveled over 300 yards, completely out of control, while the vehicle rolled and struck trees. You tell me how fast he was traveling.

Just watched his smashed SUV being lifted from the ravine, with a crane type lift.

Front windshield completely smashed.

He had to be removed from car, with jaws of life.

Report said he was traveling at a high rate of speed.

You tell me how fast he was traveling.

I don't have to tell you anything, you're the one making the claims before any of the accident investigations are made official......You praying for a "Look at me, I told you so"? pat on the back or what?

Just curious, what motivates you pseudo-sleuths to make unsubstantiated accusations when you have absolutely no legitimate information into the actual event?

You add nothing to the conversation other than to stir up controversy where none should exist, much the same way the MSM does............

The crash investigators were measuring the distance from the sign post to where its parts laid on the pavement. What you do is get that distance and use the calculation for how long it takes gravity to drop something from the height of the sign to ground.

And Speed = Distance the post traveled divided by the time.

For example, if the sign and post was 6 feet high, the time it took for it to fall and hit the ground would be .61 seconds. If the sign post landed 50 feet away, the speed of travel would be 82 feet per second or, 55.9 miles per hour. If the sign post landed 75 feet away, the speed of travel would be 84 mph (I used a feet/sec to mile/hour calculator). Hawthorne Boulevard has a speed limit of 45 mph. The air bags and seat belt saved him.
