Fistpoint said it all. There are 3 strikes on that genius SUV driver. To whomever said you were in the driver's blind spot: there is no way you were unless that was a 5'1 little lady with her mirrors adjusted to watch her kids instead of the road. Properly adjusted mirrors on an SUV have an extremely small blind spot even wrt small cars like ours.

As stated, the only issue with this is. You 100% had time to, and should have, stopped on yellow. It appears the light is red before you even get to the intersection. I am assuming the other driver saw you but also saw the light changing and fully expected you to stop.

My final verdict: You are not at fault (at most partially at fault), however, a little more defensive driving and fender benders like this can be avoided.
