Accident reconstruction: Maple Road at Hopkins Road

An animated reconstruction of the collision I was in around 9 p.m. Street details and timing are approximate, and the video has no sound.

Length 0:20Sound NonePosted November 2026

I was traveling eastbound on Maple Road, crossing the intersection at Hopkins Road and continuing toward Transit Road. I had the right of way and was proceeding through the intersection when another driver, approximately 85 years old, attempted to make a left-hand turn across my path.

The other driver proceeded with the left turn after his protected green left-turn arrow had ended, failing to yield to oncoming traffic. This resulted in a collision involving my vehicle.
