Plus the crash test dummy running the RED light was on the WRONG side of the stopped cars for going straight, further impeding visibility.
There is ZERO reason to vilify the driver.

Three words: hit and run. Fault or not, the driver was required to stop. Leaving the scene is a cowardly and illegal thing to do.
