Despite the nature of this accident, I think the greater risk at this intersection is the number of left-turning vehicles. I drive through the intersection every day and I've seen a tonne of close calls, always with a left-turning vehicle waiting for a break in traffic (which can be hard for motorists to see due to the queues that tend to persist in the turn lane) and then gunning through when they see the opportunity. A simple solution the city or region could immediately implement is making left-turns only during the advance-green cycle (maybe lengthening it slightly to compensate).
