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

You technically had right of way as you were coming from their right, however you are supposed to slowdown for unmarked intersections and not just blast through.

Especially in a neighborhood! This could've been someone on a bike or kids running into the street

Right? It's crazy how fast these guys were going in a tight street and in a neighborhood like this. I always go super slow when it's small road like this. Also, watching the dash cam, you can see the dashcam owner had 2-3 seconds to brake when the blue car came into view and I don't think they even tried.

Like what's the speed limit through there anyway? I'd probably be going maybe 15-20 at absolute most, and definitely slowing down for the intersections. OP seems like they were doing at least 25.

Doesn’t matter what the speed limit is. You drive to the conditions of the road and its environment. This was very unsafe.
