It was around 9am - 9:15am in the morning. I was on my way from the bank to the mechanic to get an oil change. Driving down Lanza Ave. It was a slight drizzle going on. I was approaching an intersection (Main St.) when I was hit in the front left portion of my Firebird.
When I was hit I saw the other driver (lets call him Driver B for now) had the stop sign, therefore I technically had the right-of-way.
I sat in the car for a moment to gather my thoughts. Curse myself out for not going to the other bank in the morning, so I would have avoided this accident. (But given the theory of time and change: It already has been set, and no matter how, you will always get into the same predicament. (Little Physics joke...))
It seems I was hit in the middle of the intersection when he was attempting to go straight. I was hit so hard that there was enough force to drag me off to the right along with his truck. My air bags did not deploy. I believe I was going down the street doing the speed limit because there was a lady in front of me. Through her windows you could see her talking on the cell phone who turned (without signaling) onto the same street Driver B was supposed to be sitting at the stop sign. He claims she almost hit him while she was making the turn.
I was headed down this main drag as the picture shows. Vehicle B would have been going from right to left in this photo:
You can see my Firebird pushed off to the right after the impact. (I did not move my car until the cops arrived and was told the move it off the street...)
This is the view the drive would have had coming down past the stop sign:
You can see the hood and the right fender also buckled due to the impact.
Nice view of where I was directly hit:
The lights functioned, except the turn signal/parking light was crushed inward. The same with the left right was completely crushed. I was leaking fluids at the time as well, but the engine started fine.
I have more photos on here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...2c7&id=8806882
Now I ask: Who is at fault. The cop says it was his because he had the stop sign. Sucks.... I just got a new insurance policy back in August... =/
