I can't believe this guy was just critically injured.

It happened yesterday at West Third and Edwin C. Moses.
There are cameras at the intersection to catch red light runners.
They show the victim walking in the cross walk when a car and an SUV crashed.
The SUV then rolled over onto the pedestrian.
Police say it all started when the driver of a PT Cruiser ran a red light and slammed into the SUV.
At least one passerby witnessed the crash and called 9-1-1.
Police say the drivers got away with minor injuries.
But the pedestrian, 43-year-old Scott Tegtmeyer was critically injured.
Now, prosecutors are taking a close look at the video to determine what charges the driver of the PT Cruiser could face.
Investigators say analysis of the video has already revealed some crucial factors.
Police say the light had been red for 28 seconds when the PT Cruiser entered the intersection.
They say Tegtmeyer should not have been crossing the street at the time because the crosswalk signal was red.
Amazingly, investigators also say that the massive dent left on the side of the SUV, caused by the impact of the crash, created a hollow space that kept Tegtmeyer from being crushed to death as the vehicle rolled over him.
Tegtmeyer was listed in serious condition Monday night.
So far, no charges have been filed.
