Glad to hear he's relatively ok. We just had a club member crash (due to a stick in his wheel!) who requires extensive oral surgery. At least it's something they can fix- unlike an un-helmeted head. He doesn't remember large portions of the crash, either.
I hope the driver's insurance just covers expenses without threatening a lawsuit.
I would never think of running a red light, but tons of other drivers in my city do it all the time. It's just a $126 fine, and a cop has to see you do it.
