vehicle to a stationary object such as a street sign.
The vehicle to the right struck a curb, stop sign, and tree. The smooth
curved damage and yellow paint transfer on the vehicle's front/left fender

The depth of the intrusion caused
by a collision with a street sign is
often determined by the
size/shape of the object struck as

vehicle. Off road excursions will
often result in collisions with street

The direction which a traffic sign is bent can often disclose the direction of force that was exerted on the
object. In the picture to the left, the stop sign has been bent toward the viewer.
The damage to the vehicle, as well as the damage to the street sign, would suggest that the striking vehicle
was moving off the roadway when it side swiped the sign with its front left fender.

a given collision, to include vehicle damage, roadway damage, and street sign damage.
