    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.

Got hit on my front right fender straight on. My car moved 2 lanes back almost into a cement divider which divides right turning and straight for the other road onto 92.

    I received a ticket for failure to yield. If the other driver never received one I want to dispute his speed by a skid test which the police were suppose to do. If they did not I want some kind of reason as to why not.... Cobb county is suppose to run a skid test on all intersection accidents I seriously hope Cherokee County has to!

    More than half my body is in pain which started well after the accident when I got to work. I came out of the car fine but I guess the shock and adrenaline hid the pain till my body could catch up to reality.
    Both parties (me and old Indian guy who worked at a BP) came out with minor pains.

    But I want to fight this if he never received a ticket.... in order for him to have crossed the intersection he would have had to of done 80MPH! It was yellow for 2 seconds already.... I would have made it through but he hit me. He should get running red light and other ****.


    Will have pics soon.
    Sorry to say this, but he had the right of way. Doesnt matter what his speed was. You should have been watching to make sure that your car would have accelerated faster than what it did, or and this is a big OR...Just waited for the green arrow to tell you to go.

    I lost my 240 this way so I am sorry but the other guy will win. Regardless of his speed
