The car has been burning and fatalities assumed, and the chick Molly who runs RedCupLSU Instagram made a meme video of it joking about it “being her brain while currently studying”. Used the fire emojis and all.
Lasted maybe 7 minutes because everyone was disgusted at such gross insensitivity.
Of course some Karen makes this thread about how outraged social media was over something that’s not even that big of a deal

I remember about 10 years ago I was in California (I forgot where, maybe L.A.?) and I noticed on that trip that every single time I was in line to turn left without a designated arrow, the person in front of me would pull into the intersection so when it turned red they could still make the left. I thought it was wild that it happened at every light because I had never seen that here on such a scale, and it was an unspoken rule there.
If you don't pull out into the intersection I'm blowing my horn at your arse.

..this means you cannot turn left without the green arrow...
No, if you have a solid green you can turn but yield to oncoming traffic that also has green. You only have the right away on a green arrow but you can turn left on a solid green.

So the left turn lanes there do not also have a solid green or flashing yellow where they have to yield to oncoming traffic but can still cross left if incoming lanes are clear? They just have a protected left turn green/arrow or a red light
As far as I can tell, no. Arrows only. I pulled these from the street view which is a year old so if anything's changed since then I wouldn't know.
Lane configuration:
Green arrow

These diagrams show what protected left turn lanes look like...you get a green arrow only when opposing traffic has a red signal...that's the whole point of protected turn lanes...to avoid accidents like this and keep drivers and pedestrians safer, at least in theory, because it apparently didn't help here...

I understand the diagram, the term “protected left turn” is what is being misused if/when the driver making a left turn has green.

i'm not understanding what you're saying here...either it's a protected turn lane or it's not...i have no idea, i don't live in baton rouge, but the diagram seems to match the photos posted above of this intersection...this quote is directly from the dot website regarding the graphic that i posted:

"Protected-only" phasing consists of providing a separate phase for left-turning traffic and allowing left turns to be made only on a green left arrow signal indication

The car in left turn lane had red lights. Came to a stop, rolled forward…stopped again. Then proceeded through said double red turn signal.

So civil/legally, assuming the car went through a red, but the motorbike was going 100mph. Is one party 100% at fault? Or do both parties share the blame?
Posted on 2/27/25 at 10:45 pm to BlackCoffeeKid
Has the speed of the motorcycle been confirmed?

The person who disregarded the red light should be at fault.

Louisiana is a comparative negligence state so both parties can and likely will be found liable. If the case is tried the jury will have to decide how to allocate it. The only person with no liability is the deceased passenger, Her family can seek damages from both drivers and their insurers as well as any uninured motorist coverage on her family's personal vehicles.

I thought he was killed on highland rd near kenielworth - but I could be wrong

Good info, thanks .
Im curious, would it work similarly if the other driver were legally drunk, as opposed to going 100mph ? Im fortunate to have never gotten a dui, probably should have about a million times back in my drinking days.. if the driver turned left illegally thru a redlight but the other driver was over the alcohol limit- who would be at fault ? Still shared ? And could the passenger still sue both ? For whatever reason i always sort of assumed being legally drunk overruled every other factor .

Not sure if the brother looked at lights in video he watch. Seems to imply it was his brother on the motorcycle that should have stopped.

"From watching the footage, the hesitation from the car made him think she was going to let him go. He probably thought, 'Let me hurry up and get past,'" Saltzman said.
That lead to the collision between the motorcycle and the car.
"I just hope that a lot of people are paying attention. It's not worth it. It's not worth trying to shoot the gap. It ain't worth trying to get somewhere a minute earlier, just have patience," Saltzman said.

Sources told WBRZ that the crash happened when a motorcycle was traveling north on Nicholson t-boned a vehicle making a left turn on South Quad. The collision then caused a fire that consumed both vehicles.

It was the 2 drivers who were the ones who died. There wasn’t an additional passenger. A 3rd vehicle that was stopped on south quad at the light got damaged.

That is insane, I wouldn’t have thought it would be plausible for a motorcycle to cause a fatality onto someone in a car. Must have been a freak collision.

Just look at how he crushed the passenger side of the car. No way he did that much damage unless he was flying through the interesection.

The person who ran the red light would be more at fault than a person travelling through a green light.
She caused the accident by proceeding through the red light and turning in front of him.
