. A driver traveling at 60 mph rounds a curve on a level grade to see a truck overturned across a roadway at a distance of 400 ft. Is the vehicle able to avoid hitting the truck? If not, how fast is the vehicle traveling when it strikes the truck? Assume typical reaction time and rate of deceleration. (Be sure to consider if you should apply stopping sight distance or decision sight distance.)
