'On Monday, Minnesota State Patrol Sgt. Kristofer Geiger — a crash reconstructionist — testified that Thompson made little effort to slow down, even as he drove onto city streets where the posted speed limit is 20 miles per hour. Geiger said the Escalade “went airborne” at 31st Street, a block south of Lake Street.

'Under questioning from the prosecution, Geiger said that the Escalade was moving at 116 miles per hour about eight seconds before its impact with the Civic. Geiger testified that the SUV’s data recorder showed that the accelerator was 91 percent engaged, “almost to the floor,” 3.5 seconds before the crash, and that Thompson pressed the brake pedal only one second before impact.

'Geiger estimated that the Escalade was traveling between 77 and 84 miles per hour at the time of the impact, and said it was one of the worst crashes he’d investigated in his career.'
