Washington State.
Hello,
Last night I was driving my motorhome through our neighborhood (which is considered a private road because it is narrow) and due to the width of the street and a car parked on the left side of the road I was driving towards the right side of the road about 3 feet from the curb. A homeowner on the right side of the road had a basketball hoop (the kind that can go up or down and it was all the way lowered) with the rim about 4 feet into the road and I hit it with the corner of my motorhome windshield (which is now destroyed).
I am wondering if they are at fault because of the fact that this hoop is protruding out into the road or if I am just hosed because I don't have cat vision to see in the dark that something black is sticking out into the road at 9 feet in the air?
Let me know if you could.
Thanks,
Jeff
