A driver fails to stop at a red traffic light and collides with a pedestrian who is crossing the road lawfully. The pedestrian suffers a broken leg. The driver argues that the pedestrian would have been injured anyway because another vehicle was also approaching the junction at speed and would have struck the pedestrian moments later. There is evidence that the second vehicle was travelling too fast to stop in time, but the court is uncertain whether that vehicle would have hit the pedestrian in the precise location where the collision occurred.
