This is terrible but you must always be aware all the other drivers and not depend on them to obey the traffic laws. You’ve got to slow down or stop if you see a vehicle speeding toward an intersection no matter what the lights or signs says. Defensive driving. Saved me plenty of times
Prayers for all involved ..especially the 9yr old child
