Wow, talk about seeing the WORST case of running a red. I wonder if this was filmed from a traffic camera?

As ultra-talented as I am with my superb prodigy-like driving skills, there is no way I can pull off anything like that...

Maybe...

So is this part of a movie or just caught on camera by accident? I can't tell if the other cars got clipped, but wow AMAZING is the word.

Judging from the perspective of the camera, it must be a traffic cam. It is on the same level as the other traffic cam visible on the left side of the screen.

If you slow down the video, it does look like the white sedan that is moving to the right gets clipped. If you pause right before the car goes through the intersection, there is zero space between the white sedan and the black SUV. The car must have hit somebody!

yeah the white car kinda got shifted left a bit, so it's probably "shaved" a bit like the title said

and yeah this has to be real, a traffic cam more than likely
