Can you draft 10 deposition questions assume that either the coroner or the accident reconstructionist is not going to be available to testify at trial, using the case file below?

One night an over-the-road truck driver, Joe, was driving on I-70 around 11:00 p.m. All of the sudden Joe noticed that there was a car in the middle of the highway with no lights on. Joe attempted to swerve at the last minute to avoid a collision but ended up clipping the corner of the passenger's side of the back bumper of the vehicle causing it to spin. Along comes John,, from around a curve, sees the car and swerves missing the car entirely. However, in doing so he ran over Greg, a passenger in the vehicle, dragging him over 100 feet. Greg was found dead. The coroner determined that it was most probable that Greg was dead before John ran him over. An expert in traffic accident reconstruction determined that the impact of Joe's truck with Greg's vehicle could have launched Greg from the car and into the road. Greg's family, his mom, dad, 5 year-old son and the son's mother all filed a complaint against Joe and John for wrongful death.

The evidence at trial established the following:

John is a stock car driver and the car he was driving that night could exceed 120 mph.
