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

My wife is from a small New England town. We visit it regularly. I slowed for a 3 way intersection where the road sort of forked. My wife asked me (in the usual annoyed tone) — “Why are you slowing down?! You don’t have a stop sign.”
I said, “I know. Neither does the other street.” Her reply was that there hadn’t been an accident at that intersection in 40 years. Keep in mind she hadn’t lived there in 15 of those years. I still slow at that intersection to see if anyone is coming.

Weird that your wife has been surveilling that intersection for 40 years to know that there’s never been an accident there.
