Red Light Camera Violator of the Week: Red Light Rear Ending

A car is rear ended and pushed through the Belcher Road and Gulf to Bay Boulevard intersection, making Clearwater Police's latest Red Light Camera Violator of the Week.

Clearwater Police posted the video on its Facebook Page March 6. In a comment, Regina Kempeneer Speed said she was involved in the incident.

"She was 83. I was driving the car that got hit," she said.

Other viewers also shared their thoughts:

"People need to wake up and pay attention," Stephni Tran posted. "I honestly feel like Red light cameras make me worry. I freak out when yellow lights turn."

Gavin Cummings added: "Notice you don't see any brake lights on the Lincoln as it pushes the other car all the way down the road. Possible elderly person mixing pedals again."

"I love how the police department posts this, when this shows the flaws in our system," posted Bradyn Freeman. "The people governing/protecting our citizens are supposed to be looking out for us, not making money off of people who run red lights. Imagine if that were a mini van full of kids getting rear ended by a school bus.... Red light cameras=unsafe, unnecessary, and a violation of privacy."
