The video, features a vehicle traveling at a high speed, running a red light and T-boning another vehicle, causing it to spin out of control at Locust Street and Westfield Avenue in /*Roselle Park*/. The accident happened on June 29th.
"I want people to realize what can happen when someone runs a red-light," said Chief Paul Morrison, "By showing this video, we hope people will realize running red-lights can have tragic consequences. Our camera program is reducing the number of red-light running violations, but we still need to reach more people. It's a matter of life and death to stop on red."
Roselle Park implemented its red-light safety camera program in May 2011. Data shows improvement in dangerous driving.
Since the program's start, red-light running violations have decreased 47% at this intersection. However, as the video shows drivers remain at risk.
