car crash
>stop at stop sign to turn left onto four lane street
>After a minute, all clear on the two lanes closer to me
>One far away incoming vehicle to my upper right, traveling towards my left
>"I've made left turns at this distance before, I should make it"
Did not make it. As I made the left turn, an incoming vehicle quickly traveled from my right to my left, and i hit its driver side back door. Incoming vehicle makes a violent 360 degree turn, much sharper than the impact looks like would have turned it, into a ditch. The driver is injured, their car is totaled, my rental vehicle is damaged. Everything is probably covered by insurance, but I feel terrible. The driver I hit was someone I'd never met, they did nothing to deserve this. They probably don't want to see me. I just want to know if their injuries heal. What should I do, aside from paying the ticket?
Their car which I'd wrecked wasn't worth that much. I'm thinking of buying them a new one.
