The driver of a blue or light green Nissan ran a red light at an intersection and collided with an Infiniti. Witnesses stated the details to the police and authorities that had gathered at the scene of the accident. This information was then relayed to the public via the media.

“Based on the witness statements, the female who is 22-years-old was eastbound and had a steady green so she was obviously traveling at the speed limit or plus, and the southbound vehicle, I don’t know what he was traveling, but he ran the steady red,” stated police agent, Anthony Bertagna.
