Leading up to the intersection, a queue of traffic had formed on the left shoulder to enter the dedicated left turn lane at the intersection. The Waymo AV began to initiate a lane change to the designated left turn lane at the point at which that lane began, and came to a stop next to a pickup truck that was stationary, positioned partially in the left shoulder and partially at the entrance to the dedicated left turn lane. As traffic began to advance, the Waymo AV began to proceed forward at a low rate of speed to continue changing lanes. The test driver of the Waymo AV transitioned the Waymo AV to manual mode and began to brake as the pickup truck proceeded forward into the dedicated left turn lane, and the right side of the pickup truck made contact with the front left of the Waymo AV.
