The scene:
Crossing a main road divided (3 lanes plus 2 turn lanes in each direction, so a total of 10 lanes) with the light. I was in the middle lane to go straight (left lane turned left, middle straight, right right).
The incident:
I started with the green, van to my left was turning left. As I get 1/3 of the way across the road a car approaches from my right and runs his red light. He passes 1.5 to 2 feet in front of my front wheel and broadsides the van to my left. The van had pulled slightly ahead of me, so it took the impact to the rear wheel and spun it around.
If I was 3' forward of where I was, I probably would have lost my legs (or my life). It was nearly a brown pants moment.
