It depends on the state, the insurance and even the cop who arrives on scene… but I imagine both are at fault. The Jeep for not making sure the way was clear, and the flipped vehicle for apparently going way too fast and for avoiding hitting the Jeep.
If the flipped vehicle was going significantly over the speed limit then I’d absolve the Jeep driver of any blame, except being an asshole leaving the scene of an accident and not trying to provide aid (even if that aid is just to call 911).
Not sure what the speed limit is, but considering it looks like a residential area, the flipped vehicle seems like they were probably going twice what the speed limit should be. We can’t see it to the right of the Jeep driver, but there doesn’t seem to be any day lighting at the corner on the left of the intersection where the Jeep came from, so it might have been impossible for the Jeep to see the speeding car until they entered the intersection.
Honestly I’d give them a pass on that one. They only gunned it after the crash happened and the power pole got hit, thinking a live power line is about to fall on you is absolutely a good reason to leave the area. Given the limited camera view we don’t know if they drove halfway down the block and stopped to call 911.
That’s a fucking braindead take. If someone veers into your lane, and you get in an accident because you had to swerve to avoid them or die, you’re not at fault.

If you don’t touch anyone, you’re not at fault. It’s bullshit.

Yeah, it’s fucking bullshit. That’s how insurance companies judge it though.
