I quite agree with Chipper1507 and SusanCairol about the no right turn at the junction.
Let's look at the picture in more detail,
Has someone here jumped the lights,
To do the amount of damage to the Citroen car were their any sign of excessive speed to beat the lights.
I've noticed on the picture a person who is wearing white trousers black coat,looks like flip flops he's wearing is this the driver of one of the vehicles I ask.
I'm not saying it is but if so it's illegal to drive in such footwear.
I'm glad to see and hear no driver and passenger were hurt.
Vehicles can be repaired

It is clearly marked on the traffic light no right turn that means what it says if you don’t understand the sign that are on the traffic lights you shouldn’t be driving this it’s the first time this has happened it is becoming a regular occurrence I’ve witnessed this on many occasions people turning right when they are not meant to when will people wake up before someone dies.

Considering Oak st was closed it looks like the car was turning right which you cant do.
