Driver #1 stated he was traveling east on Chestnut Avenue, next to driver #2, and his vehicle came into contact with vehicle #2.  Driver #2 stated she was traveling east on Chestnut Avenue, in the passing lane, next to vehicle #1, when he came into  her lane and struck the side of her vehicle. Driver #2 added that she believes a vehicle was turning into the parking lot in front of vehicle #1 and that may be why he came into her lane.
