In Pasadena, a man that was involved in a motorcycle accident last April alleged that an unsafe traffic signal was to blame.  The man then, Jacob Soutsos, filed a claim against the city.

On Tuesday night, the City Council denied Soutsos' claim.  The city said that all traffic lights were operating properly and that it is the responsibility of drivers to make sure intersections are clear before entering.  He was seeking $25,000 from the city for his motorcycle crash. 

According to Soutsos, he drove into an intersection on a green light and then collided with a motor vehicle that had been turning left on a red signal.  The accident took place at Tustin Road and El Camino Road on April 15^th.

In his personal injury claim against the city, Soutsos stated that he suffered injuries to his head, back, shoulder, hand and knee.  He also said that his motorcycle, a 2009 Yamaha, had been destroyed during the accident.
