BOTH were the fault of LAFD... I guarantee.

Lights & siren. Without a stop at red lights. Extremely common cause of these intersection accidents. Dumbass drivers should be fired!

This is one of the most backwards stories I've read in a long time. I just don't understand how this could happen lol it's like a Family Guy episode
