A camera on a Madison transit bus caught a state legislator running a red light with his SUV, and injuring a bicyclist last month.
Police ticketed Rep. Fred Clark, D-Baraboo, for going through the red light, and the 56-year-old cyclist was treated at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
The crash happened Aug. 18, and Madison TV station WKOW recently showed the video from the transit bus.
It showed a light turning green and a bicycle behind the bus moving into a downtown intersection near the State Capitol.
About 2.5 seconds later, Clark’s SUV blind-sided the biker.

With other vehicles, it’s the driver at fault.
He’s a Dem so its all kosher
Maybe he had to pass some emergency legislation, in which case running the red light could be justified.
Hang tight, certain freepers are bound to claim that the victim deserved it for riding a bicycle.

What a doll!
Cue the two ‘brothas’ sayin’ DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!
I thought maybe this was a “Peg the Keg” update...
