Car ran red which caused accident
Looks like she had green with a yield on left turns. Example, the car behind her kept going. The light right in the middle of the camera is green. I think the red lights there are for cars merging on the road. That motorcycle was going insanely fast.
ETA: never mind. She had a red arrow. Still, guy must have been going at least 70. How dumb,

Wow. Looks like the sedan started to run the light, saw the motorcycle and stopped slightly then thought she could beat it. Moto saw sedan start to stop and then planned to pass on the right. Kind of like a head on where both drivers take the same direction when trying to dodge.
I would say this exactly what happened. Your life can be taken in an instant

Even if her turn signal was red, I can completely understand how somebody could see the green light (in the lane to continue straight) and miss the red turn signal. It can be pretty easy to zone out at that hour of night with less traffic on the road.

She caused the accident by proceeding through the red light and turning in front of him.
You may believe that, but the trier of the case may see it differently. did she begin to turn on green , saw the lights of the motorcycle coming and stopped into the turn, then panicked and tried to proceed through and the collision ensued.. The egregious excessive speed would make it difficult to judge when the motorcycle would reach the intersection and its speed exponentially increased its force vectors. Its like the difference between being hit by my fastball as opposed to Paul Skenes fastball. It will be left to the trier to weigh all factors and evidence plus the opinions of accident reconstructionists if it ever reaches trial stage.

Your picture shows a green light and a car stopped at what I assume is a red light.
The green left turn would have right of way.

I was responding to the person who said the driver of the car would have comparative negligence.

Speed of the motorcycle didn't cause the accident. Her running a red light did. The alleged speeding caused fatalities.

They’re building a new south quad hence the renaming of the road.
Thank you

I’ve seen the video. He hit it so hard it almost turned the car on its side. Lifted the tires a good 4-5 feet off the ground. A MOTORCYCLE
Yea he turned that motorcycle into a missile.

Yeah it was a huge part of the equation.

Then add in whoever owns that road to be partially at fault. That’s way too low a posted speed and probably gave the driver a fse sense of security
You win the award for the most idiotic post of the day.

How do you know it was Red? Maybe it was one of those new blinking yellow turn signals.

Who fricking cares. They both paid with their lives.

I care. Had one of them been drunk that's all anyone would be talking about b/c they made a bad decision to drink and drive and killed someone.
But running a red light or driving 70 in a 35 mph are also illegal and bad decisions.

They are for sure but it's not like some punhsment can be meted out.

I really wish they would just get away with it all together and allow a left turn on red with a stop rather than the confusion of drivers differentiating between a protected and Permitted left turn
Besides lefts from a one way street onto another one way street I think allowing a left turn on red after a stop would cause more confusion.
A red light is the least confusing aspect of the various left turn scenarios. You stop and stay stopped until green arrow or until full green (permitted and yielding left). Protected only left turns likely cause more impatient issues with drivers than misunderstanding the situation.
I was always fine with green arrow for protected lefts, yellow arrow when protected left ending, and then having the full green light for yielding permitted lefts.
But some cities have switched from the full green light for yielding left turns to a flashing yellow arrow. Not sure if anything improved or not with that switch, but there can’t be any confusion between a green arrow and a full green light for those left turns.

Reminds me of that lady in California hauling arse thru a red light and an intersection causing explosions in car or cars she struck.
The car was a blur in the video taken from the gas station on the corner of the intersection.

Well sadly because her breaking the law got both of them killed. If she doesn’t run a red light she’s still alive and so is the motorcycle rider for the time being.
