 I can't work out if he was crushed or flung to the side. ie: into the gutter. Either way, that pedestrian is not a well chappy.

I got no respect for people who run reds.
I've done it once in my life, and it was at 3am in asquith, with visibility for 100m in all directions (the light wasn't changing, so I got impatient)

I have run red lights twice. Once when I was on my Ls and I paniked. Only just missed orange though. The other time I was stopped, and I swear the lights changed green. Anyway, there wasn't anyone about, and it was late. I probably should have been home in bed rather than driving around.
But yeah, that looks fucked. Poor dude.

I've seen one pedestrian get skittled so far in my life, not something that I'd like to see again, and it had nothing to do with lights changing. Also witnessed some idiot speed through a red light yesterday at what I would guess to be 150ks. No pedestrians around but nearly ran into the side of bus though. Cops followed shortly after.
I think I'll stick to the road rules.....

I can't work out WHO ran the red light.
Also another good question.. if that 4wd was a normal passenger car, Would it have rolled? Thus would it have hit that pedestrian?
don't flame me. but i am not a fan of 4wd's on the road. higher then wider, easier to roll, not as safe i guess.

That is serious.
I think that the PT cruiser ran the red as he is slowing down. Probably saw the red to late and couldn't stop in time

Yes pedestrian is very casual this would indicate green man.
P/T cruiser started to slow and at the end tried to swerve a bit.. 4wd didnt even look to have slowed at all.
If he didnt see the red light.. chances are he probably wouldnt of seen the pedestrian. He would have been right infront of that 4wd.. and the pedestrian didnt start running till he heard the boom (He looks over and shits himself.. Then starts running as car is coming towards him)
This is the US remember, cars are on the right side of the road not left. He would have been farked outright if there was no accident..

Naw, if you look at it the 4WD would have missed him. Not by much, but he would have.
PT ran the red light. Oncomming traffic had stopped, traffic on his side had stopped. If it was green the traffic that had been slowing would have sped back up.
Guy who was crossing was crossing against a red man.

Shraka I don't believe that guy would look that casual if he was walking against the lights on such a big road. At no point does he double check that he is safe.
And Missrolla, I think it is a fixed camera that are at some intersections in other countries.

Well, what can one say except that you'd expect that from someone that buys a PT. And that is:
THEY'RE FUCKING BLIND! And don't pay attention too well.

My theory is based on the pedestrian being smart and of a self preserving nature. If this is in America, my theory is out the window.

ive had an experience like this once
i was crossing penno road on a green walk light and almost got bowled over by a huge truck that ran the red about 3 secs after it turned red, could have stopped in plenty of time
although i was young and stupid at the time, i probably should have checked both ways before crosing

I always check both ways before crossing.
Thing you guys need to remember is we are into cars. We know they are lots of fun, but we also know that they are a ton or more of metal screaming down the road with idiots behind the wheel. This leads us to respect car and be aware of them.
A lot of people don't respect cars and how dangerous they can be. That combined with the guy being American leads me to believe that the pedestrian was crossing against a red signal.

That new vid is fuckin' rotten. 
I don't think it was someone from Toymods unless they've worked out a way of editing posts secrectly. The filename is the same I think.

A bit off topic but...
My dad was working in NZ. Was crossing a ped crossing on a left turn lane at an intersection. BMW hooked round a corner and collected him, then drove off. Due to stupid laws in NZ, the driver got off scott free, despite witnesses.
I know its a generalisation, but i've never liked BMW drivers since.
Its, the same principle as the red light thing though. aresehole drivers being reckless and unthoughtful.

I've been paying attention to the red light thing for a little while now and I'm amazed at how many people do it!! All types of people, mums, dads, hoons, they're all guilty of it! Its crazy..

Speeding is focused on too much, but it can actually be dangerous to go to fast. I'm not talking about the speed limit here, that's just a number. But there are times when going too fast for the situation is dangerous.
Things like stopping at stop signs, slowing down around schools and areas where people (stupid people granted) may step out suddenly, keeping your eye on the road and various other common sense things should be followed too.
The reason speeding is focused on is due to the revenue the government can easily make from it. It's easy to monitor and they don't actually have to make an effort to make raods safer.
I think what would make the system fairer is if rather than the government getting this money raised from any speeding fines, that it should be given as a safe driving incentive to other raod users. That way the government isn't going to get dependent on the money raised, and isn't going to just target easy to fine offenses that don't necessarily make driving safer.

shraka is wrong, the PT does not run the red.
it is the 4wd that runs the red, here are the reasons
1. ped does not check his left/right, meaning he most prolly has a green man
2. there is a car going the same direction as the PT, which is stopped at the lights waiting to turn left, he has a red turn arrow, however the PT has a green.
3. the reason the opposite traffic is coming to a stop, is because the random car is about to turn left, the pedestrian should complete his cross at the same time as teh opposite traffic stops, and the random car turns left.
its teh 4wd that runs the red, clearly

I'll have to check it again. But that some pritty flimsy evidence you got there. Doesn't even look like that intersection HAS a turn light. I'll look at it again.

There doesn't seem to be a turn light, but the PT does seem to have a green light. If you look at the accident, the 4WD must have charged into that intersection to be thrown so far along the road after the hit. So in my conclusion, the 4WD probably ran the red, but the PT should have seen the idiot barreling into the intersection and stopped.
