What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Just wanted some advise. I was involved in a car accident in Norwalk, CA about a month ago. I was making a left turn at an arrow, which was yellow. As I was in the intersection the light turned green for the opposing traffic and I was hit by a truck that began to go because he had a Green light. I received a police report from the sheriffs department today stating that all 3 witnesses for the accident (truck that hit me, car making a right and a pedestrian) stated that they had a Green and I had ran the red arrow. They also had my statement which read that I stated "I was out of it" and I noticed I was in the intersection when the turn arrow was Red. I also received based on the police report a citation for "Failure to stop at a red arrow" I have a court date in December, but I know I had a yellow arrow when I entered the intersection. What should I do?
