Sorry to hear of your accident, but the anecdote isn't statistically significant. (nor has the OP in any way causally linked his own quoted statistics on accidents to his examples of red light running).
- Some accidents are definitely caused by road users (including cyclists) running reds
- Many! cyclists do behave (extremely!) dangerously in different ways on the road
- Many accidents are caused by dangerous behaviour of road users
- Many accidents are also caused by unfortunate chance
One cyclist running a red and causing an accident doesn't translate to any conclusion whatsoever about the behaviour of all cyclists, nor is it an analysis running reds in general.
