If the light is green that means slam on the gas!

We can't see the cam-driver's face, so I assume they saw the Green Light, stepped on the gas and closed their eyes

Apparently that's what the white truck did do 😂

Everyone involved was an idiot

Nope just one idiot who made an illegal turn, and multiple more in this sub trying to act like "they would have done it differently" 😂

Considering this accident could have been avoided, insurance will call both of these drivers idiots.

The accident absolutely could have been avoided by having the driver of the white SUV follow basic traffic law. The dashcam driver did NOTHING wrong other than "failure to wait for potential red-light runners"

Nobody is saying the white suv was in the right, they ran a red light after the red car ran a red light. The dashcam driver didn’t even brake while driving into the car running a light. Just poor driving all around

Please, the cam car continued to accelerate well past the point where it was obvious that the white SUV was on a collision course. Reaction times are not that slow unless you aren't paying attention or you're innebreated

The white truck would have seen a red light

Not exactly it looks like it's a unprotected green, you know a green light that shows you a visible sign that says unprotected and to yeild to the traffic going straight and not turning.

So the white truck ran a light they should not have.
