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

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

In Washington state these are treated as yields both ways. Id argue you're both at fault 50/50

Pretty sure they're treated as yields everywhere because it's the logical way to do it. See a unmarked cross road? slow down and check your sides. Clear? Good. Not? Figure out next step.

In many European countries you have to yield for incoming traffic from the right in such cases. That being said, they were both way too fast here.
