My question is: who had the right of way? The article almost implies that the truck was speeding through red lights.

wow that was a horrible accident. I can't believe that it was caught on film, it looks as though both vehicles were going pretty fast. I send my wishes to all involved in this accident and hope for a speedy recovery [-o<

Now that I am able to see the video, I can see that the van that was struck had the right of way with the green light. Can we say lawsuit?
