"That white van ran the red light, and then it drove right into that green truck right there then the green truck flipped then hit my car," driver Venus Kiliski said. "It flipped twice."
Kiliski, 27, was driving the Suburban and said the light in her direction was green.
The driver of the minivan, 23-year-old Curtis Ray Cahoon III, was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
He has been charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle and with running a red light.
