While Redditors disagree on who’s mostly at fault here, one thing’s for certain: both drivers share partial blame.

Aurora commuter and Redditor /u/R4ndomlyJ0n shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier this June (June 6, 2025) to the /r/IdiotsInCars subreddit showing drivers in a Honda HR-V and a Penske Rental Box Truck both getting into an accident with each other in one of the most avoidable accidents in history.

Check out the dashcam video embedded below with the original Reddit thread linked here.

The crash happened on E 6th St (CO-30) just before the intersection with Potomac St. (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)

As the dashcam footage shows, OP is stopped behind a driver in a white Honda HR-V.

In the turn lane parallel to OP, a driver in a white rental Penske box truck is attempting to merge in front of the HR-V driver as a driver in a BMW is stopped, disabled with their hazards on, in front of them.

You can only make out the BMW after the crash.

As the light turns green, the driver in the Penske Box Truck attempts to change lanes in front of the HR-V, whom we can only assume they thought the HR-V driver was stopped to let them merge.

Such is not the case as the driver in the HR-V not only goes forward, but also accelerates.

Both meet in one unfortunate and avoidable side collision crash, likely totaling the HR-V and probably only scratching the Penske truck.

Most in the Reddit thread are divided on who’s at fault.

Many think it’s all on the HR-V.

“The BMW had its hazards on, the truck its indicator, and it was ahead. This is all on the car absolutely not looking at where it is going at all,” /u/lipstickandchicken commented.

However, others think it’s all on the truck.

“No. Just Plain no. You CANNOT change lanes if it is not clear and you do not have the right-of-way. Period. In all fifty states and territories…The only course of legal action the moving truck driver has is to argue the other vehicle did not “reasonably try to avoid a collision,” /u/GiantRedGrizzly argued.

Many also agree that both share equal fault.

“If I’m the adjuster on this, I’m putting 50/50. Both of them are idiots and neither deserves compensation from the other party’s insurance,” one of the top comments from ragapova reads.

As mentioned, one thing’s for certain: either driver being a little more patient, on top of paying attention, would’ve saved a lot of heartache, not to mention the inevitable insurance claim, time, and work to restore either vehicle.
