| Description of the problem | On july 10, 2015 during 5 pm traffic my wife was making a left turn from the turning lane into our complex where we live, upon making her left turn, she had to cross two lanes of traffic, both lanes had stopped to allow her through safely, as she was clearing the second lane looking as she progressed, no one was in the outer lane turning into our complex, a man pulled out of line and attempted to allude traffic by going around it and struck her car in the passenger door, he never hit his brakes to stop and was attempting to drive through a turning lane which enters our complex only, there is a sign stating that this lane is for entering the complex and has markings on the road that shows where the lane begins further past our turn in entrance, instead he was going to drive over the markings to avoid waiting in traffic. My wife's car was hit hard enough to break both motor mounts and cause the roll bars to pop up, but the airbag never deployed, the other driver's bags all deployed up front in his vehicle. |
