It passed through the intersection, which then went into the usual error cycle of being stuck on red for several minutes. Traffic backed up all the way to Westmount. There was a police car at the intersection for some reason, not sure what they were up to.
They were doing FIE testing on the Waterloo Spur so they put the crossings at Columbia and University in Island-Only mode so they wouldn't interfere with the testing being done. Part of that testing involves parking a vehicle in the "island" of the crossing which for University and Columbia would require police escort.
