What is the name of your state? Illinois
I was northbound on a four lane street (two lane traffic each way). I was crossing an intersection with no lights or stop signs. I was in a turn lane turning left. the two cars in the two lanes i was crossing stopped and waived me to pass when another car dashed out from behind traffic in an unmarked third lane (no pavement markings at all and definitely not wide enough to be a third lane) came around the other cars and struck my right front fender with his left front of his vehicle. I was given a citation for failure to yield. I strongly belive he was at fault for this accident and I have taken photos of the intersection and of the lane he was traveling it. Does anyone anything about pavement markings on a street to determine it another lane? He has told the insurance companies that he was in the third lane of travel which in fact there was no third lane. The right lane just seemed to widen a bit but definitely not another lane wide. The pics I have are pretty good. Do you think I have a chance?
