Watch Bicyclist Almost Get Hit on Bullard Parkway

The red light camera at the 56th Street intersection captured the close call.

It could have been a terrible accident.

A 13-second video posted on YouTube by American Traffic Solutions, which operates Temple Terrace’s red light cameras, shows an SUV almost plowing into a bicyclist at the intersection of Bullard Parkway and 56th Street.

The SUV was making a right turn and didn’t stop at the red light. The bicyclist was traveling in the crosswalk.
