While I was waiting to turn left, a small truck stalled in the oncoming lane opposite me in the middle of the intersection, he was now blocking me from turning left. After a while the red light running camera flashed, afterward he restarted his truck and backed up into his lane. Before this I was waiting for him to go through the intersection so I could turn left, but he stopped in the middle of the intersection instead, then his truck stalled, thus blocking me from turning left until after he backed up into his own lane. Will the red light running camera cite me (give me a ticket) or him? The light had changed to red for him as he was stopped and stalled in the middle of the intersection.

I guess I also could have put my car in reverse, backed up in the intersection and then gone around him. But instead I just waited for him to move his truck out of the way, by this time the light for myself and him turned red.

What is red light running?
A violation occurs when a motorist deliberately enters an intersection after the signal light has turned red. Motorists inadvertently in an intersection when the signal changes to red -- when waiting to turn, for example -- aren't red light runners.

Since I was inadvertently in the intersection when waiting to turn left, maybe I won't get fined.
