Brand new wet asphalt coefficient of friction

Does anyone have data on coefficient of friction of freshly laid asphalt that is then rained upon? By fresh, I mean that the paving crew was still on site when the accident occurred. There was a sudden downpour and then the accident happened. How does it compare with an older wet asphalt roadway?
Thanks, Dave Warshaw
