Answer

Right-of-way usually trumps in traffic accidents. If the one with the r-o-w was doing 60 mph in a 30 mph zone, then that would change the percentage of liability. It sounds like the Mustang driver should have stopped for the light if the suv was waiting in the middle of the intersection to turn. Nontheless, the Mustang was not required to stop and the suv was required to yield the r-o-w to the Mustang.
