| State route 32 car accident crash |
Preliminary investigation by the Ohio state highway patrol revealed Regina Baldwin was driving southbound on Moore's road. Jason Rogers was driving westbound on state route 32. The cars crashed at the intersection.
The link below is from Google maps pinpointing the accident scene.

It appears from the photo and the google maps that Moores road is a stop sign controlled street. If this is the case then the driver coming from Moores road crossing Ohio State Route 32 has a duty to stop and not enter the intesection until it can be done with safety. There are multiple factors such as speed that can come into play. A determination of responsibility is never simple. As an investigation aide, google maps has been accepted as reliable and is a good investigatory tool for law enforcement and accident reconstructionists.
It is also accepted practice for a computerized Total station to document the scene so the roadway and the evidence at the scene can be recreated . As a Cincinnati car accident lawyer I have seen the total station in use and at times had to actually subpoena the evidence from the highway patrol. Although many of these cops are dilligent, their training in nothing compared to an engineer in the field.
The investigation appears ongoing. If you witnessed this accident please call the Brown County Georgetown highway patrol post at 937-378-69191 .

There are always two sides to every story. Yes. When it comes to investigating car accidents, an eyewitness is very important. As an investigator, you can easily come up with a solution if you have information from a third party’s point of view, a person who happens to just witness the whole incident.

I strongly agree with you on this matter, Mike! A witness testimony can be a useful tool to easily point out the exact details of an incident. Police officers and the jury tend to pay close attention to witness statements because, generally, they find it a reliable source of information. In fact, numerous cases are solved through the help of witness testimonials.

Generally, a witness’ statement is extremely important to easily solve a crime or accident like this one. Aside from police officers, lawyers also tend to depend confidently on the information the witness can provide. If there’s no eye witness, it will take time to solve a case.
