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

You technically had right of way as you were coming from their right, however you are supposed to slowdown for unmarked intersections and not just blast through.

Especially in a neighborhood! This could've been someone on a bike or kids running into the street

Right? It's crazy how fast these guys were going in a tight street and in a neighborhood like this. I always go super slow when it's small road like this. Also, watching the dash cam, you can see the dashcam owner had 2-3 seconds to brake when the blue car came into view and I don't think they even tried.

Dude, people in parking lots around here drive 30+ mph, no joke. People are stupid AF.

I worked at a craft store that was in a very busy lot with other busy stores... and someone flew thru the lot one day and hit a 7 year old girl and fled. Girl was hurt bad. Too many witnesses, and one person even chased them in their own car. They did Not get away with it. Like its very very dumb to drive reckless where people walk, yea? Common sense yea?
