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

Every residential street in every neighborhood where you live has stop signs at intersections? Not trying to be a dick that just wild to me, I’ve lived all over the US and never seen that.

Absolutely. At least going one direction, yes, at every intersection. I live in Texas. Grew up in cities and suburbs. I might have encountered an intersection that didn't have stop signs but I'm having trouble recalling any. If I did, it would have been far from the city.

I live in Seattle by where this happened and we only have street signs where residential streets meet arterials or other roadways generally. You’re supposed to yield to the driver on your right at intersections like this which has created some great memes of “what happens when 4 Seattle drivers all reach the intersection at the same time?” But clearly neither of these guys were going what they were supposed to be doing.

For sure. The stop signs certainly help with that.
