Terrifying Vehicular Accident Video Request
A video request was submitted by a resident that was involved in a vehicular accident that took place outside their neighborhood resulting in their vehicle being totaled.
The Video Surveillance Footage
In this video, a black SUV is seen colliding with another black SUV in the middle of the intersection.
Moments later, the individuals are seen exiting their vehicles.
Fortunately, everyone is very much alive.
The survivors in this unfortunate accident are witnessed accusing each other of whose fault it was.
Police officers and toll trucks arrive later to investigate the scene before cleaning up the street and allowing regular traffic flow.
Vehicular Accident Statistics
“In 2001, Progressive insurance conducted a survey with over 11,000 people who reported a vehicular accident, how far they were from home when the accident occurred.
More than 50% was reported occurring within 5 miles from their hair and more than 70% occurring within 15 miles.
20 years later, statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is still reporting similar statistics.
WHY DOES AN HOA NEED VIDEO SURVEILLANCE?
Video surveillance helps answer the WHO, WHAT and WHEN questions that arise after an incident occurs.
With the proper video footage, video surveillance can help recover monies on damaged property such as entry and exit gates, community park and playground equipment, and community center assets.
Surveillance footage helps assist law enforcement with criminal investigations and helps district attorneys in prosecution.
It helps provide both investigative and prosecutorial evidence.
Additionally, a high quality video surveillance system will help in the overall community effort to reduce criminal activity in the association.
These systems help to deliver a general sense of “peace of mind” to community members.
