<p>There's reportedly POD camera footage of the crash, that will hopefully shed some light on exactly what happened. I won't go into details here, but there's reason to question the account of the car occupants and the other witness.</p>

<p>She may be an irresponsible driver (the evidence suggests it), but that doesn't mean he didn't cross on a red. If she was impaired, then I believe (IANAL) that the law holds you at least partly responsible for a crash on that basis alone, independent of other factors. I've done a stop-and-go at plenty of red lights late at night, but Logan/Western is a bad intersection to do it at any time. Regardless of infrastructure, sightlines just aren't very good.</p>

<p>Notwithstanding the car driver's record, the witness confirmed that the car driver had the green. Unfortunately similar in the Helmut Jahn case, the witness(es?) confirmed that one of my favorite architects for Chicago and beyond had run the stop sign. Introducing the hypothetical and non-sequitur Idaho stop post-hoc in either case doesn't help protect anyone. (If your point was to demonstrate that a cyclist's Idaho stop is dangerous, then you did make your point)</p>

<p>Are your required to take a DUI test? Is there an actual penalty if you refuse?</p>
<p>Lawyers sometimes suggest you refuse the breathalyzer test as it makes it easier to win the criminal charge of DUI at trial.</p>

<p>Funny how so many mainstream news outlets reported that the driver allegedly had a green, but none of them bothered to look into the citations against her, which showed that that she refused a DUI test (which means an automatic one-year license suspension), and was ticketed for driving too fast for conditions and not having insurance. Records show she was also ticketed in April for running a stop sign in Forest Park and driving uninsured, but she never bothered to get insurance after that,…</p>

<p>Active Trans created an action link for people to send messages asking for safety improvements to be made to the intersection. You can use it to send a message to the mayor and your alderman.</p>
