Eh.

Maybe.

The problem isn't just that. The problem is also that the ambulance was speeding and would have been unable to stop. If both parties were going the speed limit, this wouldn't have happened. If either party was going the speed limit, it wouldn't have happened, and if she had stopped at the light, her speed would have been zero. Finding fault depends on Indiana's laws, whether or not emergency services vehicles have an EXTRA duty on safety while driving (in many states, they do.. so this might be categorized as automatically their fault just for speeding while not being on an emergency run), etc.

I suspect this might go to a civil trial, though.
