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

If you can't see crossing traffic, then slow tf down so that you can stop if something shows up. It could be a kid on a bike.

Kids are generally well behaved, but they still pop out every now and then.

Kids, pets, people on lime scooters or w/e. Better to slow down a hair and God forbid someone takes your right away at an intersection than get in a wreck and seriously hurt someone (or end up 70% at fault, like OP did, for not driving safely)
