Default Car accident Tuesday 31st October (Lots of pictures, 56k go make a coffee)

Hi all
Myself and my partner Alex were involved in a car accident on Tuesday night at about 8:45 pm. We were driving citybound on Main North Road (SA), making a right hand turn on to Hogarth Rd. We entered the intersection on a green arrow, made it across two lanes of stopped traffic, when a lady disregarded the lights, came through the left lane on the other side of the road and straight into us at 80 km/h. She bounced off of my car and continued to take out a traffic light. The front of her car (EL Falcon XR8) struck the front left quarter panel of my car (EA Falcon GL wagon). We all escaped with minor bruising, but both cars are total write-offs.

Me and Alex both opened our doors, got out the car and walked away. I've got a massive bruise on my knee but the doctors said there is no permanent damage thankfully.

Anyway she is claiming that I ran a red light, but how would I make it across two lanes on Main North Road? I have one witness's details and he is backing up my story. She doesn't have insurance, but I do and I'm putting the claim in tomorrow. She's a P plater by the way.

Thank god for seatbelts and EA Falcons! At least I have a spare one!
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF PEOPLE NOT PAYING ATTENTION!!!
DRIVE SAFE, PLEASE!!!

Sorry I couldn't get any at the scene but my camera wasn't working.
Heres some photos of the car the next day at the tow truck driver's place.
