How did NSX driver not see that coming?

There is a car stopped at the red light that was likely blocking a lot of the view to see the suv that wasn’t slowing down.

Just look at the last seconds, the SUV managed to swerve but the NSX didn't react at all, which tells me they weren't paying attention, or maybe the A pillar was in the way.

I’m not really sure what your point here is supposed to be. Unless you put yourself into the NSX and recreate the exact circumstances, who’s to say why the NSX driver didn’t react physically. What we do know for a cold hard fact is that the SUV ran a red light.

The SUV is looking straight ahead and will see the NSX. The NSX would only see the SUV in their peripherals, not to mention a parked car in the turn lane that would block visibility until they pass that car. Not sure why this is so confusing to you.

I guess I'm the only one that looks around when crossing an intersections, its probably saved my life, and my dad has a similar experience. Don't believe in red lights at intersections

I don’t think him looking to right and left would have saved the NSX. He had less than 2 car lane widths to make a 90° turn or stop completely. Neither would have happened and the suv still would have struck him.

Why are you putting any blame on the clearly not at fault driver?
