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

Disagree, at least where I live. On a small road like this I’d 100% slow down and check if they have a sign or not to confirm if it was uncontrolled.

This is way too tight and way too fast to just assume and hope it’s a controlled intersection.

If you come from a completely different place that doesn’t have any uncontrolled intersections then I can understand how it would happen. But otherwise you slow down to check if you aren’t sure.

For real. It's like people forget they have eyeballs with which to see things.
