My poor sister was hit, this is the second time within the year she’s been hit by these crazy drivers around here. Red/Yellow means stop not try to get through the light as fast as you can. SLOW down you don’t always have to be in a rush!!
red light means go, right?
That looks more like a Wishbone than a T-bone.
