They seriously need to revise this intersection. Make the pedestrian walk phase its own phase during rush hour, separate from the protected left turn phase. The angle of this intersection is absolutely horrible and practically induces collisions like this. I don’t know why the city doesn’t do anything about it. Every driver who’s ever interacted with this intersection says it sucks. Yet nothing is done, and more people die or get seriously injured. For shame.
