People are the worst sometimes. Was your wife turning left into the

Yep, without evidence, left turn is always at fault.

Going straight ahead

should be good with witness info
jwf

She was going straight through the intersection? Did her light just turn green
westsidecoug

Yeah
stonecougar
2/18/20 5:01pm
In that case, get the witnesses, evidence, etc. He should be paying for it all.
