What Happened at 15th and Thompson Streets?
The rider was traveling westbound on Thompson Street, which is a one-way eastbound road. The Uber was making a right turn onto 15th Street from Thompson Street before being hit by the ATV rider. There were four juvenile passengers and the driver in the Uber. All were taken to area hospitals for treatment. It is unclear whether they sustained significant injuries or what their conditions are.
Traffic Violations and Accidents
One of the core components of proving negligence in a car accident is showing that the at-fault driver breached their duty of care. Violating the law is one way to demonstrate that. In this case, the rider was operating against the posted road rules and ran a red light, both of which are breaches of the duty of care. In that case, this rider is responsible for the injuries and other losses sustained by the other involved parties.
