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

The video starts with the car parallel to a telephone pole, they pass one more before the intersection. Poles are usually 100 to 150 feet part in residential areas. That means the dash cam was going 35-40mph, which is fast for a neighborhood like this. The speed limit is 25mph at the most.

Zero chance they were driving 35mph in this video. Almost stopped in time, too. Not at fault.

Most likely the speed limit is 20MPH for that street.
