Here's The Moment A Red Light Running Cop Wipes Out An Innocent Motorist
Cops run red lights all the time - it helps them catch bad people and save lives - but it’s on them to slow down and assess the situation before doing so. Unfortunately, this officer in Ocoee, Florida, made a massive error of judgement when he blew through a red light without slowing down, wiping out a Toyota Corrolla in the process.
Officer Chris Bonner was pursuing two armed robbery suspects when the incident occurred, and reports suggest he was travelling 90mph when he crashed. The driver of the Corolla was 26-year-old Yahaira Castro, who suffered serious injuries. Apparently, paramedics pulled her from the wreckage by her broken arms…
The officer has been fined $164 and received four points on his driving license for running the red light, while Castro has confirmed that she is suing the city of Ocoee.

“fined 164$” oh yeah sure… JUSTICE!
just ridiculous
Mean while I get fined $340 for going 74 in a 65 on the freeway at night….
I was like DAAAAMMNNNNNNN, then I noticed this happened in Florida. Just a typical day.
It’s horrible here.
The Corolla driver just got a pay cheque that will last him for life. Too right as well
Well, I guess you could say the Toyota got T-Bonnered…
Only $164?
Hemi KICKED IN YO
I feel like it would be an interesting court case. Yes the officer should have approached with caution, but the Toyota had 2 sets of flashing lights coming towards the intersection, with no other vehicles to block the lights.
The law is cops have to yield at red lights when in pursuit, pretty sure 90mph is far from yielding
