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.

She should’ve seen the cop car though.
Well, when the cop car is flying in at 90 mph, it might be a bit hard to spot the lights and hear sirens and then quickly react.
Toyota lives matter!
That has too be at least over 9000 spins by the corolla
What’s intresting is the other police car slowed down to almost a stand still when coming up to the lights.
“The officer has been fined $164 and received four points on his driving license”
Seriously? For pretty much destroying two cars (I know one of them was a corolla but still) and causing serious injuries? He should have at least lost his job
Everyones cracking jokes, no one going to mention the cop only got 4 points on his license and fined 164 dollars?
Had a civilian done that, regardless of speed or injuries, and caused an accident, the fines and court costs alone would cover the cost of replacing that Toyota.
Not to mention the cop who ran the light should pay to replace the cruiser at least, not my tax dollars.
I like ocoee
Too bad it wasn’t a Prius.
I bet that cop used to be a Peugeot driver
Admin you got an error………
