How many million pounds of force release in a crash has a 3000 pound car travelling at 70 mph?

To estimate the force released in a crash, we can use the principle of kinetic energy. A 3,000-pound car traveling at 70 mph has a kinetic energy of approximately 1,500,000 foot-pounds. However, force during a crash depends on the duration of the impact. While it's complex to convert kinetic energy directly to force without knowing the specifics of the collision, roughly estimating, the force could be in the range of several million pounds depending on the crash dynamics and deceleration time.

What is the most common location for fatal backing collisions?

The most common location for fatal backing collisions is residential driveways.

Additionally, the confined space and limited visibility in driveways contribute to the higher risk of such accidents.

What do I do if I hit a car and they drove away?

If it was indeed your fault, then you are better off they drove away in most cases. Contact your insurance, tell them what happened (if you want your car fixed) and file a claim. Your insurance premium may go up, so it all depends on the amount of damage to your vehicle as the whether you get it fixed. It is also recommended to file a police report just in case the owner of the car you hit comes back later to accuse you of the accident.

Who is at fault if a car stops suddenly in front of you and you swerve left of the double yellow to avoid car?

Can you file an accident report online?

Some insurance companies will let you start a claim online but only because they aren't staffed 24 hrs, they will still call you and will want a police report number and your version of what happened. Sometimes even the police don't come out for traffic depending on state and damages but still have to get no for insurance, you will be assigned a rep to work with you to get car taken care of. There may be a deductible; if your car can be driven they will want at least 3 estimates most likely and since the police are slow more may come after about a week. They will determine fault if that applies to your state. There could also be injury claim from the other party etc. which is only a problem if you are at fault in applicable state etc, your driving record/rates could be affected
