Default Auto Accident

An auto accident happened directly in front of me & I saw nothing but the aftermath. Was @ the traffic light @ Avenida Central & Paige Pl

Was waiting to make a left turn on to Paige Pl when the light would change-heard a crash-no brakes & two cars were in the median

One appeared to be tee boned-Teeboned car must have been on Paige Pl crossing Avenida Central when it was hit by a car that ran the red light on Avenida

Good thing you're ok. Sadly I'm not the bit surprised. I've witnessed numerous cars run thru red lights almost every day. If they're not doing that they are running stop signs making their right turns without ever looking to their left. Makes me wonder how they've lived this long.

Just a second thought-if it was a golf cart instead of a small suv, that got tee-boned--it would have to have been a fatal accident

I think the place you're referring to is just west of Chilis. If that's the location, I thought that was a bad setup with lack of turn lanes and sometimes cars going halfway without space for stopping.
