http://www.daytondailynews.com/localnews/content/localnews/daily/0529redlight.html

but it requires a ridiculous registration.
Never understood why a newspaper needs to know how much money my family makes so I can read their story, but that's another rant for another day.

Cameras stopping crashes
Fewer collisions at intersections with video gear

Dayton Daily News

DAYTON | The crash photos are terrifying. In one, a PT Cruiser slams into an SUV, knocking it off its tires and rolling it over a man crossing the street. In the other photo, a crumpled bicycle remains on the pavement, after its rider pulled into the intersection.

Two crashes. Three people seriously injured in Dayton this week. All because someone ran a red light, police said.

As bad as these crashes and the photos of them were, they're not the full picture.

...

One of these cameras recorded the crash on Sunday night at Edwin C. Moses Boulevard and West Third Street that left a pedestrian in serious condition at Miami Valley Hospital.

The camera caught the PT Cruiser, driven by Betty J. Hayslip, 75, of New Lebanon running the red light and striking a Suburu driven by Albertina L. Walker, 41, of Dayton, police said. Her SUV flew into the air and crashed into Scott Tegtmeyer, 42, of Dayton.
-----------------------------------------

So he didn't die... at least not immediately. This happened at the end of May. Another story mentioned that the driver hadn't yet been charged, FWIW...

I donâ??t think thatâ??s probable. Here in Midland when the lights change, there is about a 2 second amount of time where both sets of Lights are red, the guy in the Cruiser definitely ran the light.

That my friends is why drivers over 70 should be tested yearly.. because I swear they get more stupid as the years go by and run red lights

when I read that, I got seriously pissed when I read the driver of the PT was 75... no wonder why she ran it... I so hope that guy survived and took every @#*&* penny from her.

Old people (over 70) risk to society in a car > 18 year old male in a car risk to society in car

Old people should have to pass a test every year. My grandma is blind in one eye and an idiot when it comes to driving right now. I am afraid for everyone on the road when she drives, but I can do nothing about it. The law should, on the other hand.

Wait wait wait... LOOK VERY CLOSELY. Why would the kid cross the street while cars will be driving by in his direction? The SUV wouldve probably hit the kid anyways.

No he actually wouldn't have been hit. SUV was in lane he just walked through and at the speed it was going before being hit it wouldn't have hit him. PT loser is at complete fault and should be sent to an old folks home for rest of her life.

I feel sad for the kid walking. That is really tragic.

Another shining example of why you SHOULD NOT try to beat the yellow light.




The SUV was going too fast to have just jumped off the light. Moreover the kid was crossing the street with the PT cruiser. Now the traffic on the left may have had a red light, but on the right it was green AND THE OTHER car that was sitting was waiting to turn left w/a blinker and the kid was in the way so he was not turning.

Make sense? Look very carfully at the frescort.
