Hi. Last Friday on Aug 4, around 6:50pm -7:00pm, I was involved in a minor car accident.
I was taking a left turn on an existing green light on 10 AVE and 4 St. However, I took a wide left turn because it was a one way, and was aiming to enter into the lane second to the right (I wanted to get into the closest lane as possible because I needed to make a right turn on 8 AVE). As I was turning left, I heard a honk and stopped, but didn't notice anything, but as soon as I went to continue my turn, a car passed me coming down from 4 St. I hit the other car's door, and have scrapped the side of my car.
The driver of the other car believes that she went on a green light (she had two passengers with her), and that I am at fault. She has told me that she was not the one that honked her car. Am I at fault for taking that wide left turn? I believe that the other driver ran a red light.
If you guys know anyone who might have witnessed this, that would be more than helpful! Any advice is greatly appreciated as well. Thank you.
Here's a photo to help visualize.
