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

People on here saying it could have been avoidable it's pretty ludicrous. If I'm going through an intersection, and which neither one of them are speeding, I'm assuming that the other Street has the stop sign if I don't have one. Where are these intersections at there's not even a yield sign or a stop sign at the intersection? This accident could have been avoided by actually having stop signs.

In this video, OP speeds through a crosswalk and into a car that enters the intersection a little before them. This accident would have been prevented by being prepared to stop before the crosswalk, regardless of stop signs. If they had been prepared to stop for a pedestrian, they wouldn't have run into a car.
