Description

On 3/3/16 at 7:50am, a city vehicle with tag #XD9782 was travelling north on Dr. MLK Jr St N and sped through the yellow light at 34th Avenue North, but immediately was stopped at the red light at 35th Avenue North.
The vehicle then cut across the right lane at the stop light to "fake" a right turn onto 35th Avenue North, but instead continued northbound back onto Dr. MLK Jr St N, effectively running the red light. Later, the vehicle entered the 15mph school zone at 54th Avenue N and raced through it to make a left turn on yellow onto 54th Avenue N and then pulled into the Walgreens.
Nothing about running red lights and speeding through school zones is safe.
