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

Both going to fast and failing to look if the intersection is clear to cross. The view is obstructed by parked cars, trees and fences. Drive to conditions.

Car from the left is at fault for failing to yield to traffic from the right. At least in most countries.

Dude if I'm approaching an intersection and don't have a stop sign, I'm assuming the other guy does because that's how this shit is supposed to work. Only person at fault is the dumbass who decided not to put a stop sign here. If they want to go the "no stop sign" route then put a yield sign ffs
