Narrative:
A320 landed runway 28R. On rollout, aircraft acknowledged hold short runway 28L. I observed the A320 too fast to stop and told local control. He then told the A320 to cross runway 28L without delay. B737-800 on short final was allowed to continue and land because the A320 crossed very fast. There was no need to have A320 call the tower since 'it worked out.' local control and I assumed the position of the sun would have been 10-20 degrees above the horizon and directly in the eyes of the flight crew.
