Car A hits Car B's passenger side at intersection (T Bone). Car B flips over sideways in the direction of the driver's side. The intersection is basically level.
Car A is an Audi 5, roughly 3,900 lbs. Car B is a Lexus NX, roughly 4,000 lbs. Car B had recently stopped and was traveling through the intersection at 15 mph. Car A's speed unknown but posted speed is 35 mph. Is it likely that Car A was traveling 35 mph?

No where near enough info to make an educated guess.

Here's a video of an SUV rolling at, like, 5mph.

Obvs not the same sitch, but it makes the point that "average" simply doesn't apply.

The forum rules do not allow questions of this sort. They require serious analysis by a competent crash analysis professional working with a complete report of all of the conditions involved in the collision, and that's not something that an anonymous internet forum can do.
