The storm knocked out power in some areas but where these two streets intersected, power was not knocked out but the storm had damaged the street light controls such that the traffic lights in BOTH directions now both showed GREEN.
The municipality's traffic department had been notified of this condition at this intersection 3 hours earlier but had not sent out a crew or done anything else yet to rectify this condition..
The two drivers arrived at the intersection at the same time.
BOOM !!!! There was a HUGE crash.

What's to discuss? Is someone alleging someone else did something? Is there a police report? Was someone charged? The facts are contradictory. Initially two cars were speeding, but then only one car was speeding. How was it verified that a driver was intoxicated? Who manufactured the faulty traffic controls since they're supposed to default to red, not green? Was a Toyota involved with unintended acceleration? Do the drivers have lawyers yet?
