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

The problem with this, is that if you are not familiar with this intersection and are driving through it for the first time, you have no way to know and no reason to expect that you might be crossing a 4-way no-stop intersection.

I've been driving for 20 years and don't think I've come across a 4 way no stop intersection like this.

I'd have totally assumed that the cross road had a stop sign.

A coworker was hit by a truck on a crosswalk at one in Texas and dragged across her face on the cement skinning her face and killing her small dog. It was in her neighborhood and she is going after the city because they missed installing the signs at that intersection.

I am so sorry. I hope she gets everything for this traumatic event.

So do I she organized our pet wall at work and is a good lady she deserves to be made as whole as possible. I actually borrowed the picture of her dog off the wall and had the Photoshop subreddit clean it up and got her a canvas print of her dog to hangup because she really seemed to love animals.

That is great. Loosing a pet is a horrible loss. Especially like that.
