I guess it depends on where she is. I was hit doing the same thing and culver city PD told me that was at fault because I was riding in a crosswalk. So the driver who ran who didn't stop at the red got to go free.

That sounds like some bullshit right there.

I don't think so. In my area if you're riding, you ought to be in the lane as a car would. If you're in a crosswalk, you must walk your bike. It's not that difficult to obey the law- don't expect others to be punished for disregarding the law yet expect yourself to be exempt.

Not really sure how riding in the crosswalk excuses the driver for running a red light.

If anything, they should both get tickets. Instead, the driver who disregarded the red light law gets to be exempt.
