Commentary:
If the offending vehicle did run the red light, while driving with it’s lights off, no less, then the driver of the SUV is probably going to be in some serious hot water over this accident. This would more than likely be a situation where a decent attorney points at a doctrine known as negligence per-se, where an act is considered negligent because it violates a law or statute. I’m really wondering what the driver of the SUV was up to at the time of the accident if they were driving with their lights off and running stoplights as several reports indicate.
