Many intersections are equipped with traffic cameras that capture video footage of the intersection and the vehicles passing through it. This footage can serve as strong evidence if it clearly shows a driver disregarding the red light. Your attorney may be able to contact the appropriate transportation department to obtain the traffic camera footage.
If there were witnesses at the scene of the accident, their testimony can also be valuable in confirming that the driver ran a red light. Eyewitnesses who observed the incident can provide statements detailing what they saw, including whether the driver failed to stop at the red light.
Physical evidence at the accident scene can provide insights into the driver's actions as well. Skid marks or specific damage patterns on the road or vehicles involved in the collision can indicate that the driver failed to stop at the red light. These findings should be included in a police officer’s report, which can then be used as evidence or by an accident reconstruction expert who may be able to help determine whether a driver ran a red light.
