Reported at 26,000 miles, June 2019 CrashInjury

I turned from the parking lot intersection in eagle run shopping center, nw of wendy's, from west to south onto the parking lot road that accesses the w maple rd & birch st intersection. I completed my turn and drove south down the parking lot access road to the w maple & birch st intersection where the traffic light was red. I came to a complete stop to wait for a green light. I stopped a ways back from the median curb of the intersection to allow for turning traffic from the west.
