If one car runs a red light and hits another car and there are no witnesses to say who ran which light who does the police officer fault?
The police officer is simply there to take the statement not to say whos At Fault. The insurance company will decide who is at fault. Normally they will find that one one is at fault if no one admits fault. The case will simply be a dud. Neither party will get paid and each will have to cover the cost of the accident.
