Go ahead, make a left turn on a flashing light…
Their was no flashing light. I was one of the 2 passengers on board. The dude in the black Silverado ran a red light. Upon collision the other older gentleman was slung forward and was transported to the hospital
I was eating at Leftcoast Seafood, when I heard the collision I turned to the look and the light was red for the bus. Interesting if both had red lights yet both vehicles were moving.
I was making fun of state streets new traffic rules of making a left turn against traffic, definitely not makimg fun of the drivers.
Those lights are horrible! Every time I have to go that way, I witness almost accidents. They aren’t timed right. I’ve been using backroads just to avoid that entire mess over there.
MTA probably has cameras on the bus that will tell the driver at fault.
Actually, the photo shows the accident to be at the intersection of State & Standley St.
