The Traffic Accident Reconstruction Origin -ARnews-

Rotating Vehicles Drag Factor

In working a recent crash, I had a car that travelled 208 feet after impact while spinning around about three times.

In trying to find information about what drag factor to use, I found suggestions for 50% to 80% of the standard road drag factor.

Does anyone have more concrete [pun intended] information on this subject?

Thanks,
