    I watched this several times, before I realized where the white Car came from

    and WHO is at fault.

    There are at least three white cars, and all of them seem like separate vehicles to me.

    The white car that strikes isn't the first one, and it isn't the one approaching on the cross-street from the right -- that one stops. There
    are no cars approaching from the left or from across the street. I don't
    know where the car that strikes comes from.

    What's your theory?

    The car that approached from the right did not stop, and was not a factor.

    I gather you are considering the car with the dash cam to be white, so
    that leaves us with the filming driver and the one that hit it.

    We can't tell if the the car that stuck the can car came through a red
    light, or perhaps one that came through the green from the opposite
    direction of the initial view. In other words, did both cars in the
    collision have a green light If so, I say the cam car was at fault, that
    fault being turning too wide and encroachinng on the lane of the car
    that stuck it.

    amazing!", I like to say "Oh, that's photoshopped".

    ( is it confusing because of Left-Right reversal? )

    ________________

    i think.... The car that strikes comes from behind the Dash-Cam car (POV).


    the Dash-Cam (POV) car shouldn't have wandered to the far side lane.
    -------- is this collision (pattern / scenario) common in USA, etc?

    the Dash-Cam (POV) car is at 30% fault ?

    the white striking car was careless... 70% fault ?
