Red Light Camera Catches Pedestrian being Hit

[BornStar]

This picture isn't the same as the last one. There are subtle differences everywhere. I'll see if I can dig it up.

edit: Never mind, it's the same. I remembered different details for some reason.

 

[ohtwell]

Still looks fake to me. I just can't believe that she didn't notice him.

I think its FAKE because if you look at the old lady in the first pic you can see her looking at the guy, and if you look at the second pic she's looking straight as if nothing happened.

thank you and goodnight

she saw him, hit him, then now is on the run? Looks like she might have seen him at the last moment, tried to swerve away, and thats when the camera caught it.

looks real to me.

and she probably drives eyes striaight ahead 10-2 hands all the time.

 

[BooGiMaN]

the hitter and the hittee both seem to be old maybe thats her ex hubbs or bf and she gunned it!!

you never know how crazy a scorned woman can get..

or it could be one of those pulp fiction moments.....

she looks at him..
he looks at her...
eyes lock...
they recognize each other...
she puts the petal to the metal....BAM!!

No way. Wrong. If you look carefully at the lady (blow up the pic) she has a look of horror on her face. and the other lady is looking in disbelief.

I say Real.

nothing on snopes

 

[mugs]

The paper on the ground is the only thing that makes me wonder - it's not in the first picture, but it's there less than a second later. Unless he's holding it in the first picture.

The wipers are not on, only one of them is up. Obviously whatever part of his body broke the windshield also moved the wiper.

some benzs like that e-class only have one wiper blade.

Why do all you morons think it's fake? It doesen't look fake to me.

The only weird thing is that the second pic is blown up and you can't see the whole frame(and the time).

 

[So]

1) Repost
2) Thanks for the second picture
3) Where did you find this (any story?)
4) I, too, reserve judgement until snopes discusses it. Anyone want to submit it?

 

[So]

lol!

 

[aircooled]

I'm still undecided. If it's real, I wonder why it never had a news story, but if it's fake, someone did a damn good job.
I looked at it magnified in photoshop, and don't find any obvious photo-croppin, but it's also a low-res black and white street camera photo, so who knows...

oh, and the lady did swerve a bit to the left, you can see she's in a different lane position. old people have slow reactions

 

[KarenMarie]

in the 1st pic she is at a standstill. no?
could she have hit the break hard enough to send him flying like that from a standstill? plus in the first one it seems like she is looking right at him.

 

[Ryuson99]

how does someone get hit and end up in that position?wouldn't his legs be facing the other way?

its awfully difficult to come into any conclusion just from one or two pictures...

He would have had to have flipped 180 degrees in the air. It's possible, if the car hit him hard enough, but odd that the car doesn't show enough damage for such a hit.

 

[cerebusPu]

can anyone recognize the city? Im trying to locate car accidents on june 26 2002 that were caught on red light cameras.

 

[Krakerjak]

In the first pic. The lady crossing is clearly stopped waiting for the car to run past, and the young guy starting to cross is staring right at the guy about to be hit.. You would think they would yell out a warning to the guy about to be creamed instead of standing there doing nothing.

 

[Crazymofo]

Check the license plates cerebusPu they are clearly from a European country... there is a bend in the road which is why the car looks to swerve but really is not... check the time stamps on the photos there is less then a second between the two photos, the lady may have seen it coming but obviously would not have time to react... The legs hitting the front are not going to do any damage to that car... the head clearly struck the windshield and it is broken... when the head hit the glass the body was swung around to the side and in the second picture the legs are about to strike the passenger windows...

I cannot see one fake thing about this pic and would say it is definitely real... and why is it so hard to believe this kind of stuff happens every day and these cameras are all over the place in Europe...

oh and the GTA3 chop was a funny as fcuk!!

Also I apologize if it's a repost.. I searched for pedestrian and red light.

Yup, this is a repost but at least you have a before picture. Where did you find this pic? I attempted to search VWVortex.com where the other person found the picture, but no luck.
