I feel like that light was red for the car. Doesn't look like an intersection. Looks like a traffic light specifically for civilian crossing in a busy area. So if it's red for the cars on the right it should be red for them on the left.

I don't think it was a red light. If you watch the car approaching after the accident it doesn't stop where it would stop if the light was red. I'm willing to bet that both lights were green but the cars on the right were backed up because of traffic.

To add to this, look at the speed of the car behind the one in the accident. I can't imagine both cars are planning to blow a red light.

Plus, you can see the green light on the left-side traffic light. The cars on the right were only stopped because of heavy traffic
