Steve was driving down the street approaching an intersection. At the intersection Steve failed to see that the light had turned red and entered it. Carl, who was just entering the intersection on a green light, swerved to miss Steve's car. As a result of the swerve Carl hit a telephone pole, and it fell over hitting a car driven by Julie. Julie's car was a convertible and the pole hit the convertible's top, cut through it, and hit Julie in the head knocking her out. Julie's car had limited damage, but she suffered substantial injury to her head and neck. Carl is personally uninjured, but his car is totaled. Is Steve liable under the tort theory of negligence to Carl and Julie?
