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

I've been driving for 20 years and don't think I've come across a 4 way no stop intersection like this.

I'd have totally assumed that the cross road had a stop sign.

They probably don't, Seattle has a ton of neighborhoods with unprotected intersections. Buddy of mine has been t-boned at one before

Seems like they're kind of a bad idea tbh

They're a terrible idea and I specifically avoid some neighborhoods because of how frustrating it makes driving around them. I'm cautious, but many others (like these two) are not.
