I actually saw that happen once. The cyclist was running the green light but couldn’t see the car coming from his left due to a car stopped at the same light. The cyclist T-boned the car. The driver pulled into a gas station to check for damage while the cyclist picked up his bike and limped away in the opposite direction. 99% of me was horrified at what could have happened but there was this tiny little part that thought “Finally, a scofflaw cyclist now knows what traffic laws are for”. Around here cyclists are notorious for disobeying traffic laws if they could get away with it.
