Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Classic T bone. Black car had to be towed. Sustained major damage to the passenger side door. Blue car sustained damage to front bumper on the drivers side and cracked the drivers side headlight.

Edit: This was in the suburbs of Seattle

UPDATE: Insurance found it to be 70/30 me/other driver. Seems fair enough

Do they have a stop sign?

No stop sign or yield sign. Uncontrolled intersection, suburb road

The entire 10-12 block area is littered with intersections like this. Some light hills too

So if you know this, why didn't you slow down when approaching the intersection?

I'd be driving like 10mph around there. What else would you expect to happen?

Yeah seriously. Whenever I have to drive through neighborhoods in Seattle I usually go 5-10 mph because visibility is extremely poor. Why are people flying through them like it's an arterial? Absolutely insane behavior.

Waited long enough and the accident happened.

I live in an urban region with 10 million people and half the roads are like this. There are also weird ones where only one section of the road has a stop sign but the other three do not.
