    DeadDoc, I completely feel your pain. The same exact thing happened to me last year, no joke.

    I was on fulton industrial boulevard turning onto cascade rd, the same situation you were in. I was committed to the turn and the light was turning yellow. On the other side I noticed that one of the cars on the left lane had slowed down to stop. There was a truck next to him, but he was farther back, so I'm like OK, he won't make it in time and the light will turn red long before. WRONG. the light turned red, and the truck driver was still quite a good 75 feet away. I take the turn, and the stupid mexican driver of a FUCKING ICE CREAM TRUCK hits me at the tail end of my van. The van did a nice 180 degree spin and it literally fell down on my side, the drivers side, and rolled over. I honestly never thought I would get the ticket; the mexican driving the truck was going a hella fast. He didn't horn, and he didn't put on his brakes (didn't see any skid marks). I thought it was complete horse shit. Luckily, I didn't get a scratch (I wasn't wearing a seatbelt either, but even if I did it would have had no effect as the car turned on my side).

    Well, I had to pay $100 fine. not bad really, and insurance took care of everything.

    Really sorry to hear this man, I know exactly how you feel.
