Thankfully, this dashcam owner was paying attention and stopped in time.

Denver driver and Redditor /u/Efrainl shared headshaking dashcam footage from earlier last week (June 22, 2025) showing a driver not paying attention blow past a red on this intersection and almost getting t-boned had in not been for this dashcam owner paying attention.

Check out their dashcam footage embedded below with the original Reddit thread linked here.

The incident happened at the intersection of W Florida Ave and S Zuni St. in Colorado (Exact location on Google Maps linked here.)

As OP’s dashcam footage shows, he’s travelling on W Florida Ave when he gets to the intersection with S Zuni St.

Despite having a green light, he cautiously approaches the intersection.

His Spidey Senses serve him right as a driver in an electric Volvo sedan approaches the intersection from Zuni and blows through the limit line and red light.

Thankfully, OP stops short, narrowly avoiding T-boning the Volvo’s driver’s door.

The Volvo driver stops in the middle of the intersection, acknowledges his c**k up by giving OP a wave, and slowly drives past.

“It’s people like that which demonstrates why driving tests should be mandatory every 5 or 10 years (at DL renewal),” one of the top comments from /u/xrapwhiz43 reads.

“I had the exact same thing happen at that exact same intersection last week. I don’t get what about Florida and Zuni is so crazy, but here we are,” local /u/DusterW2 replied.

“I’m baffled. The only thing I can imagine is that he saw the car on the right (making a left turn) stop and so he thought “if cross-traffic is stopped, I must have right of way”. This is really another level of stupid,” /u/adequatehorseberry surmised.

This seems to be the most logical explanation as Zuni is mostly residential and several stops before that it’s all stop signed controlled.

A driver, approaching the intersection and assuming, since they have no stop sign and seeing cross traffic with one, they have the right of way, I could see how they’d be confused.

Regardless, it’s sloppy and potentially dangerous driving. ‘

Blowing a red light in Denver is subject to a $75 fine before all the fees, no points on your record.
