On may 1st I was making a left hand turn. I looked and no cars were coming so I started to turn..all the sudden an suv came flying and rammed into my front of my truck. She had to be going atleast 30+ mph and didn't evan brake. I know she had the right of way but I think she had time to slow down. Now my trucks totaled. Im wondering am I at fault? Or her? Mind u I wasn't evan going 10mph. I also didn't get a ticket at the scene. Idk if the other driver did.

Hi Roxyglrl86,
And just states her statement which says I hit her suv,now if cars can drive sideways maybe. But no way.
I don't think it's possible unless you were facing her. I'm saying this since you were driving only at 10mph/.
Did you mean you had already turned towards her when she appeared?

What I mean is that it was impossible for me to hit her. I was already making my turn when she hit me. My back tires just left my lane. Now im trying to figure out what 3 tickets she got at the scene. Everyones telling me 1 speeding 2 wreckless or careless driving 3 endangerment. Idk guess I have to see.

Well Roxy,
I'm not doubting the fact that she was speeding. But is there any particular reason which makes you feel that she was reckless?
I'm asking this since you've already mentioned that she had the right of way!

Roxy, honey, she might have tickets on her record but her past history wouldn't affect the facts of this accident. Even when she has a tinted driving record you would be responsible for the damages you (if only) have caused to her.
I gather the police report stated you as the #1 operator. Normally, the #1 driver is held responsible for causing the accident. Hence, if that is the case then I think that the police too believe that you're at-fault. Please clarify if I've got it wrong.
Regards,
Juanita
