Collision Due To Obstructed Lane
No ticket. My vehicle was in the right lane on a street with 2 lanes in the same direction. The right lane was obstructed due to snow and ice from the snow plow built up. Right lane is for straight through traffic, left lane ended in about 50m (to merge right). All straight through traffic was in the right lane, but slightly offset due to the snow (too much to drive over 1-2feet high). I was stopped, another vehicle was in the left lane behind me, and attempted to pass but could not as there was a divider between opposite direction of traffic, he hit the left rear of my vehicle. The road was lightly snow covered and lane markings were not visible.
Insurance is saying that it is either 100% my fault or possibly 50/50 because I was not (implied) in my lane at the time.
Does this sound right? I was stopped and the other vehicle decided to pass when they did not have room to do so.
