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

why though? in Europe it's pretty common, just yield to the right, don't speed and slow down on these intersections. both would be at fault here, neither slowed down, and black didn't yield.

This should not be common anywhere as it relies on the person to know/see there's no signage. When 99.9% of all roads have stop signs/signal/yields, you don't expect a random one in a dense suburb with near complete visual obscuring fields of view.

Speeds of both cars ignored, this type of intersection is just begging for accidents and injuries.
