Un juez de Georgia concede 56,5 millones de dólares a la familia de una estudiante fallecida en un choque en sentido contrario

Un juez de Georgia ha concedido más de 56 millones de dólares a la familia de Beth Buchanan, una estudiante de doctorado de 23 años fallecida en 2023 tras ser atropellada por un presunto conductor ebrio. Buchanan murió mientras llevaba a su madre al aeropuerto de Atlanta cuando Cesar Raudales Macias supuestamente condujo en sentido contrario por una autopista y chocó de frente contra su vehículo. La familia describió la sentencia como simbólica, pues no esperan recibir pago alguno del acusado, quien se encuentra prófugo.

Beth Buchanan llevaba a su madre, Julie Olson-Buchanan, al aeropuerto de Atlanta alrededor de las 3 de la madrugada del 13 de febrero de 2023 por la carretera University Parkway, cerca de Patrick Mill Road SW en Winder, Georgia, a unos 64 kilómetros del centro de Atlanta. Cesar Raudales Macias, de entonces 25 años, presuntamente realizó un giro en U ilegal y condujo en sentido contrario, impactando de frente contra el Kia Soul de Buchanan. La colisión fue tan grave que un testigo pensó que el coche había explotado, según la demanda presentada en 2024. Buchanan falleció en el lugar, mientras que su madre sufrió heridas graves que requirieron semanas de hospitalización y enfrentó un profundo trauma emocional, que incluyó una desgarradora llamada al 911 en la que intentó auxiliar a su hija.
