Aside from the time I rear-ended a Lexus RX at low speed in stop-and-go traffic, two come to mind.
Location 1: Sleepy Hollow Road x Dearborn Drive
Saw this one driving to high school one morning. I remember that the cars were a Ford Explorer and a Mercury Mountaineer (a neat coincidence, that), but don't recall which was which. I was driving south on Sleepy Hollow. Lady was waiting to make a right turn from Dearborn onto northbound Sleepy Hollow, but a steady stream of traffic was blocking her. A northbound minivan slowed to turn right onto Dearborn; lady waiting sees her opportunity and starts to make her turn. Driver behind the minivan, however, moves over to pass the minivan and ends up slamming right into turning lady's left front quarter.
Location 2: Sunset Hills Road x Wiehle Avenue
Saw this one driving to work one morning, waiting at the light on westbound Sunset Hills. Lady in a Toyota Corolla is waiting at the light on eastbound Sunset Hills. She's already past the stop line and at the crosswalk. She's creeping forward, and I remember thinking "What is she doing?" When her light turns green she starts into the intersection but cross traffic on Wiehle hasn't cleared yet. Sure enough, SCREECH! CRUNCH! AIRBAGS! Toyota Rav4 southbound on Wiehle (he must have entered the intersection when his light was yellow or even just turned red) slams into Corolla's left front quarter.
