A Car, a Bike and an Unlucky Pedestrian

Luck runs out when people expect it the least, and that's a fact. But ignoring the basic rules in an intersection is kind of really asking for it.
Now, if the pedestrian would have waited for the green light, he'd have probably been a witness of the motorcycle running the red light... instead he got seriously injured by a fast incoming bike. The blame could therefore be shared between him and the rider, with the car driver being the innocent part in this nasty crash.

We don't know where this happened, but you can see a car running the red on the closest lane to the camera, just after the pedestrian crossing gets a green. Since this looks like common practice, maybe a lot more awareness is not only advisable, but mandatory. Running the red light may prove to lead to bad endings for vehicles and pedestrians, alike.
