    I had to watch it a few times, it doesn't look real at first. How he avoided totaling the white car is beyond me.

    Wow!! I bet that jerk didn't see the pedestrians crossing the crosswalk (view most likely blocked by van).

    What a total moron

    THAT is about as tight as they come. Yeah, he did hit the white car, you can see it sway back on track. Where did you find this vid? EDIT: Obviously You tube. Duh. I mean is there a way to get a follow up on what went down? I'd like to know why in the hell that happened. Brakes fail maybe? If not, it looks like he/she was on a suicide mission. I can't believe he made it thru that.

    You can tell (I think?) that the black car does hit the brakes right as he enters the intersection because of the massive amounts of water he throws up only while going through the intersection.

    Man, it's amazing that he didn't hit anyone any harder than that...but even given how it did turn out, it's amazing the white car didn't totally careen off track.


    Kudos to the observant driver in the Mitsubishi Montero; lightning reflexes, for sure, and it appears that it has good brakes, too!

    Ditto. Holy ****, my reflexes are good, but no where near that! That driver deserves a freaking medal for preventing a multi-car pileup!

    I didn't notice it at first, but after reading the Youtube comments, look close and you'll see the Redlight Camera caught that driver .

    Explain THAT to the Judge, Bosco.
