I was making a left turn and an on coming car hit my left front wheel (08 Honda CRV). I didn’t see the other driver as she didn’t have her lights on (~6:15pm/dark in residential area).

The other driver hit my tire hard enough that the tire is tilting inward. The alignment is totally off and and it’s difficult to steer the car. I could smell something burning too in the short 1/2 block drive back to my house.

When is the front driver not at fault in a car accident?

It’s not the front’s driver’s fault if the rear driver decides to close the gap and tempt fate. This even applies if the front driver is stopped in traffic and the gap is miniscule. The driver in front may, however, face challenges with this type of collision if he has been negligent by failing to maintain brake lights and other systems.
