Please help!! Seeking witness(es) to accident on southbound Hwy. 751 on 4/26 in Chatham county, just outside Durham county.
Four vehicles were stopped waiting for one to turn left into a driveway on Hwy 751 with American flag on mailbox. After northbound traffic cleared car waiting to turn left began making the turn and the vehicle that was stopped behind it passed it on the left hitting the front drivers side of the left turning vehicle.
One of the other two vehicles that was stopped behind the two in the accident pulled off the side of the road to ask if everyone was ok after the accident vehicles pulled off to the side. The good samaritan then quickly got back in his car and drove off before a name and number could be asked for. Needing witness(es) to help prove driver passing was at fault.
Is this for insurance? In what you described, how could anyone not think it was the passing driver? They would have been at least partly in the wrong lane.

A friend of mine was in exactly this situation when hit by a tractor trailer. Unbelievably, the deputy writing the report identified her as being at fault for not yielding to traffic! Perhaps the poster is in that same situation. I believe it took quite a bit of explanation to the insurance company so they didn't jack up her rates.

I don't get it... does that mean she shouldn't have stopped on the road to make a left turn? If there's too much traffic and you're holding people up then you have to keep going? What happens if you live where you were trying to turn?
Yeah it sounds like it has to be the passing driver's fault...do you know at that location if there were 2 solid yellow lines or a dashed line? If it was two solid lines the passing driver has to be at fault? Even dashed, you're only supposed to cross after yielding
What happens if you live where you were trying to turn?
Go further down the road to a point where you can double-back and safely hang a right into your residence?
