我开到路口的时候是绿灯，不过我还是减速、打右转向灯。没想到，一辆助动车冲出来。她是直行，速度比较快。我马上刹车，可是还是撞了。我记得撞车的时候她没摔下来，但是等我下车，她就一屁股坐在地上，又哭又闹，说我把她撞伤了。明明是她闯红灯，违反交通规则，还要赖在我身上 。我当时转弯的时候速度只有二三十公里，根本不可能撞倒她。

When I drove up to the intersection the light was green, but I still slowed down, and put on my right turn blinker. I never thought an electric bike would come out of nowhere. She was going straight, at a rather high speed. I braked immediately, but I still hit her. I remember when I hit her bike she didn't fall off, but after I got out of my car, she set her butt right on the ground, crying and making a fuss, saying I injured her. She's clearly the one that ran a red light, breaking the law, and now she wants to pin it on me. At the time I was turning, my speed was only 20 or 30 kilometers per hour. There's no way I could have knocked her over.
