I did this exact thing several months ago. I was heading to the office, not quite awake and sort of droopy. My left turn arrow goes green and I am first, the car opposite me and myself begin to go and out of the corner of my eye I was a VW Bug (new model) blow the red light and nearly miss the other car, I hit my brakes as well because if they did connect I would have been collected up in it.
I followed this woman for 3 miles, and she kept running every red light she came up on.
Then she came up on the one next to my office and across the street from a High School, this light was REALLY red and she was going for it, she sideswiped a man taking his teenage daughter to school. She spun him around 180° and rang both his and his daughters bells good.
I stuck around, talked with the police, gave my official statement that included me making a sketch of what happened, I even wrote on the sketch this was her 3 run red light.
I then went over to the guy that got hit, I told him what I saw and gave him my business card in case he needed me.
BTW- The woman swore it was his fault and he ran a red light. There were too many witnesses telling them otherwise.
