Makes you wonder some times. How loud was the girl's music that she didn't hear the squad car?

News reports say that the cop was going fast enough through the intersection that upon impact pushed the girls car approx 100 feet down the road.

Seems as if this is to early to say what happened here. Did the girl have music on? Did the police turn the siren on to late before entering the intersection? Was the police going way to fast for the condition of the intersection? Was the girl simply a new driver and re-acted wrong? She had the green light, she may have been caught part way through with the flow of traffic and could not get out of the way? Talking on a cell phone?
For pushing the car as far as the police did this car shows there was a high speed here. Excessive? I wonder. I have yet not to see a police officer slow down in an intersection here in our city. I realize this police officer was in a hurry but perhaps slowing down to ensure everyone was out of the way may have helped here? Or was he part way through and she just took off when she saw the green light? So much has to be investigated.
But in the end it still leaves a teen dead and others hurt. Sad story.
