Results are given of an investigation of a crash which involved a 1964 Pontiac, two-door hardtop (vehicle 1) which ran over a muddy spot in the roadway, lost control, crossed the roadway center line, into the path of a 1968 Chevrolet four-door sedan (vehicle 2). The driver of vehicle 1 evidently over-corrected for an off-the-road skid which caused the vehicle to cross the roadway when it moved onto dry pavement. The impact speed of vehicle 1 was 20-30 miles per hour and for vehicle 2, 15-25 miles per hour. The collision severity for vehicle 1 was moderate, with an estimated cost of damages of $1,800. Collision severity for vehicle 2 was moderate, with an estimated cost of damages of $2,800. (Author)
