I wasn't really paying attention and when the light turned red and the green walk signal came on, I started to cross the street as usual without looking at the traffic.
For those you don't know, grand has 4 lane road, like most in Springfield. I was just far enough into the left lane when I heard tired squealing behind me. A car blew threw the red light, stopping well past me.
If I would have been 3 feet back, I would have died then and there, no question. I'm surprised there wasn't anyone else in the street, that was a heavy foot traffic area.

Then you just turned and looked, shrugged, and continued on your way while whistling "Pop Goes the Weasel" to yourself.
