I do totally get there are accidents which cannot be avoided. I wish I could show you the intersection and the vehicles (ours and the other guys). The speed this guy had to be going when he hit my husband's vehicle is insane. Our vehicle was nearly split in half down the middle (passenger side was in the drivers side) The speed limit however is 45. He was driving a full sized SUV and I might be the only one with this viewpoint but if you run a red light especially one that has been red for awhile (more the enough time to stop) it is defenitely intentional. It may not cause an accident then or tomorrow or the next day but if you did it often enough it eventually would. In any event I did not want to upset anyone or anything. I saw the info on the public information site late last night and thought maybe someone might know what it means because I have absolutely zero experience with arraignments and court proceedings and whatnot. The detective told me when I first spoke to him that he was defenitely going to be charged with a crime most likely vehicular manslaughter and then seeing just a traffic citation I had no idea what was going on. My husband asked the detective today when he spoke to him about the blood alcolhol testing and he told my husband unless the guy consents to a test he cannot do one because it would be considered illegal search and seizure and they could be sued over it. The detective did tell my husband he would most likely lose his license though but all that will mean is he will drive without a license and without insurance so if he caused another accident that person would have no recourse against him.
