Corzines vehicle did a 270 degree turn...TOWARD the direction of the impact. That is, the SUV rotates right- toward the center lane-and continues for 3/4 of a circle until it comes to a stop facing the left guard rail. If a vehicle is struck on its front passenger-side (right) bumper, wouldnt you expect it to rotate left? It sounds like Corzines driver overcompensated after the impact and lost control when he turned his wheels into the skid.I had the same take. The physics don't add up.

The physics don't add up.I think they do. The trooper turned sharply to the right to overcome the counter-clockwise skid caused by the impact. But he overcompensated and caused the rear end to violent skid in a clockwise rotation.
Given the assumption that the trooper would have had extensive defensive driving instruction on overcoming a skid, I conclude that speed was very likely a factor.

The irony of racing to a photop with the Iman “victims” is too much. I guess our politicians really do risk everything for a camara.
