here is the news article from that crash....

 

DAYTON | Doctors revived a man Sunday just hours after medics pronounced him dead on the scene of a car crash, police officials said.

 

Dayton Police Sgt. Charles Hurley said Scott Tegtmeyer was walking in the intersection of Third Street and Edwin C. Moses Boulevard at 12:40 p.m. when a Chrysler PT Cruiser ran a red light, struck a Subaru sports utility vehicle and sent it into the air.

 

The Subaru landed upside down on Tegtmeyer and dragged him several feet across the intersection, Hurley said. Tegtmeyer, bloodied and surrounded by shattered glass, was pronounced dead on the scene, but he suddenly started breathing while in transit with paramedics. By 3 p.m., doctors had fully resuscitated him.

 

On Sunday evening, he was in the Miami Valley Hospital Intensive Care Unit.

 

Neither of the female drivers of the vehicles involved were carrying passengers. The woman driving the Subaru was transported to Miami Valley Hospital. Information on the condition of the driver of the PT Cruiser was not available. Hurley said police talked to eight witnesses. He also said it is possible a camera mounted high above the intersection captured the crash.

 

Dayton police reconstructionists, trained at putting clues together after crashes, were on the scene with digital cameras and measuring devices. The flipped Subaru showed noticeable crash damage on the left body panel. Ten yards away, the customized P.T. Cruiser with a 'AAA' sticker on the back of its tinted windows showed damage to its front end.

 

just some time later, another accident at the same intersection:

 

A 49-year-old woman was killed in a three-car crash Wednesday when another car hit the driver's door of her vehicle.

 

Investigators were not releasing the woman's identity, until kin were notified. It was the second major Dayton crash in a week caused by a missed red light.

 

The woman had been headed east on Stewart Street when the other driver, headed south on Patterson Boulevard, ran the red light at the intersection, Sgt. David Reed said.

 

The car then hit a minivan, which went up onto the median.

 

The driver, the only person in the car, was pronounced dead at the scene, Reed said.

 

At least four people in the other vehicles went to area hospitals, Reed said.

 

The driver of the car that ran the light is a diabetic, and police were investigating whether that affected his physical condition at the time of the crash, Reed said.

 

Nine days earlier, a sport utility vehicle struck a pedestrian at Edwin C. Moses Boulevard and West Third Street, after a PT Cruiser ran a red light and hit the SUV. The SUV flipped twice, then hit Scott Tegtmeyer, 42, who remained in serious condition at Miami Valley Hospital on Wednesday. The driver has not been charged.

 

That crash was captured by a red-light enforcement camera. Dayton police say the cameras, installed at a dozen intersections across the city, helped reduce injury crashes caused by ignored traffic signals by 28 percent during the past year.

You know, I got into the habit of slowing down while approching any intersection I have the green light to go thru.

 

That exact senerio plays out countless times every day. Maybe not that severe, but it happens...

 

Did you notice the PT crusier didn't even touch her brakes (watch breaklights) untill moment of impact....

DUH!, coming up on a 4 way intersection, with cars stoped all around.... HELLO.....egads.gif

The guy would have been even more FUBAR if the PT Cruiser had not slowed down the Subaru. That guy was getting hit either way it looks like.

I noticed the same thing. I think he should have been paying a little more attention to what was going on around him.

I do the same thing because in '99 on my second day of a new job, I had the green at the last redlight before I got to work. Dude ran the red light (there was a piling supporting the interstate overpass blocking my view of him), I saw him at the last minute, I swerved, but not enough. He caught me just behind the cab of my truck. I was lucky that no one was coming in my direction, or they would have hit me in the driver's door based on where the truck stopped spinning. I was sore but unharmed. Truck was totaled, and I had just paid it off two months earlier. At the meeting I had that morning to be introduced to everyone (I was late) they all said "oh, that was you!"
