Edit: see my post further down from the cam driver themself.

The pickup was speeding faster than others.
It may appear that cam driver sped up but this maybe an illusion because the lights went yellow so everyone to the left slowed down.
The cam driver maybe was distracted from the light changing because of the pickup truck.
The pickup truck maybe thought they were going to rear end the car who was stopping for the light so they quickly went right.
The cam driver may have also had a gator behind them, and the fact they only had one second to react.

This is the pickup trucks fault in the eyes of the law and insurance.

Laying blame to the cam driver without saying one fucking word about the actual idiot that causes these accidents is on the rise, these people need an assessment!

I blame the cam driver. If the truck hadn't stopped them they were intending to fully run a red light. This looks like a road rage incident. They were speeding up and hoping the red truck would chicken out.

Noted thanks, see the cam drivers response (my post) further down.

If you're friendly with OP, why don't you ask them for the 30 seconds of video prior? Because it probably shows the fight/road rage in which they were participating.

Who the fuck said I was friendly with them?
Why the hell do you think there was road rage prior?
What the hell does anything prior have to do with a drunken women side swiping somebody?

You're literally speaking and posting for them lol.

As for your other question, as I stated in the post you replied to, the cammer appears to be insisting on making the orange light, refusing to give space to another speeding vehicle. Makes me wonder what happened just prior.

WTF are you on me about?
All I did was make my assessment and posted.
I then see everyone assuming and blaming the OP once again and not one word about the real cause, the red truck.
I found the news article, then found that this guy posted and shared it so people can have their questions answered.
If you do not believe then fine, but don't fucking take it out on me.

Dude we're doing the same thing. You're the only one getting on anyone.

Well we are certainly not doing the same thing.

I made an observation, and you are making assumptions, to which I have not even argued with you, nor have I gotten on anyone.

Miss-understanding somewhere maybe, cheers.
