re: Whose is at fault in this accident?

For everyone saying the straight van has right of way...would a left turning car have to wait on a stream of cars going straight despite the stop signs?

The dash cam needs to go back a few seconds to see which vehicle stopped first

Not a 4 way stop. It doesn’t matter who stopped first. The car turning always has to yield to the car going straight.

Yes.

It's not a 4 way stop, so if they want to turn left yes they have to wait until no one is coming from the left or right and that cars at the stop sign ahead of them is not going straight or turning right.

Yep. I had to rewatch the video and had assumed it was a 4way. But it’s definitely not.

In most states... yes. But you can always look it up for your state.

From what I've experienced, if you're turning left and a car runs into you, you're almost always going to be determined to be at fault. You must yield right of way to cars going straight.

Looks almost as if the Volvo driver decided to intentionally hit the van. I drive under the impression that at a two way stop or an intersection with a light, left-turning car would have to yield to car going straight, in fact, I got stopped one time in my neighborhood turning in front of a driver that obviously wasn't paying attention and sitting at a light, I turned left in front of them, no incident and turn was clean, but sheriff's deputy pulled me over and "educated" me that my violation was failure to yield, and that he could ticket me. Gave me a warning.
