Horrific NJ car accident becomes red-light stop campaign

A New Jersey town has released video caught by its red-light safety cameras in hopes of encouraging people to stop on red.

The video, uploaded to YouTube, shows a fast-moving vehicle running a red light and T-boning another vehicle, causing it to spin out of control at an intersection in Roselle Park, N.J.

"I want people to realize what can happen when someone runs a red light," said Roselle Park Police Chief Paul Morrison. "By showing this video, we hope people will realize running red lights can have tragic consequences."

The crash captured in the video happened June 29 at 5:30 a.m., police said. The 29-year-old driver from Elizabeth, N.J., suffered minor injuries and was arrested for driving while intoxicated and other offenses.

No one else was hurt.

Roselle Park started its red-light safety program in May 2011. In the intersection in the video, red-light violations have dropped by 47 percent.
