Within the broad area of forensic accident investigations, much attention is usually focused on the accident reconstruction as well as human factors related to visual conspicuity, including time of day, age of driver, sight lines, weather, and the presence or absence of any intoxicating substances. This paper presents several approaches to accident reconstruction, human vision, as well as haptic and auditory factors tied to data obtained from a subject rig traveling over the rumble strips. These analyses are related to aspects of a severe trucking accident that occurred at approximately 4:30 a.m. on a clear, dry, interstate highway. The accident occurred when a tractor and semi-trailer hauling a large shipment of whiskey, appeared to strike a second tractor and semi-trailer that was parked near the fog line. Truck 1 raked the trailer and cab of Truck 2, rupturing both fuels tanks which led to a horrific fire.
