    Solution

    The correct phrase should be "result in" instead of "result at." The verb "result" is typically followed by the preposition "in" when indicating the consequence or outcome of an action. Corrected sentence: "The car was reported to have been speeding, and the impact at such speeds could only result in fatal or near-fatal results."
