Watch out for RED LIGHT runners

[rdhogg]

Our oldest daughter was hit by a red light runner yesterday. She walked away from the accident but has lots of bruises and cuts. Please tell your family and friends to be careful leaving an intersection under a green light because the RED LIGHT runners are becoming an epidemic level. She was lucky , she was buckled in and had some good GM iron around her with a good airbag system.

Glad to see she walked away.. Steel can be replaced.. Daughters, family, and people, cant.

I forgot to mention that she was hit into the curb and the Esca rolled 2-3 times,

That explains the folded wheel. Just wow.

One of my drivers T-***** a Ford F-150.. My driver was driving a Semi-Truck. The other driver is lucky to be ALIVE. Its amazing how stupid, as a society, we have become. I see it every day watching dash cams.. Some of the poo just absolutely stupefies me.

I figured so, too much damaged sheet metal.

I know, right. I have had a dashcam for about 3 years in my Tahoe, (does front and rear recording) have not had to prove fault for me, but I have been able to provide video clips to people for the police accident report. You must see it every day. Yep the folded wheel, she was hit on the passenger side and he pushed her into the curb 2-3 rolls an lands upright in Windys drive through entrance.

Glad she is ok!

Glad she is ok! We just moved from an extremely rural area to a metro and I have warned my wife that she needs to wait a good 20-30 seconds after the light changes to go. Been working in this area for 7 years and witnessed too many people blowing through red lights.

Around here the light would have turned red by the time we wait 20-30 seconds. No need to wait that long, just be vigilant and observant.
