Very sad. While this appears to be his fault, that intersection is confusing and dangerous.
My understanding was that it was a hit and run! Someone hit him!
How awful. If someone hit this dude and ran, all I can hope for is that your cowardice action gets returned a–hole.
No, it was single vehicle accident. No other vehicles were involved. A simple Google search will confirm this. Still an unfortunate accident nonetheless.
