Nashville Auto Accident Lawyer Reports On A Collision Caused By A Red Light Runner

Red Light Runners Kill

Sometimes it’s so simple to avoid an automobile accident. As an experienced Nashville automobile accident lawyer I see it time after time, one simple error, one second of distraction and people die.

Traffic Signals are used to control vehicle drivers and pedestrians at some intersections and crosswalks. Signals promote better movement of traffic on busy roads by assigning right of way. Traffic Signals are usually placed at heavily traveled intersections. These lights tell you when or where to stop and go. A green light means you can go if it is safe. A yellow light means caution, prepare to stop for the red light. The red light always means stop. Standard traffic lights are red, yellow and green, from top to bottom respectively.

When the red light is flashing you must come to a complete stop the same as if you were at a stop sign. Before you proceed, look both ways, yield to traffic and pedestrians and proceed when it is safe to do so. Unfortunately for four Nashvillians, the driver of a small Toyota simply ignored a blinking red light and crashed into a vehicle carrying three people. There were no fatalities but all four people involved in the accident are hospitalized.
