Hakim Georgia putuskan ganti rugi $56,5 juta bagi keluarga mahasiswa yang tewas dalam kecelakaan lawan arus

Seorang hakim di Georgia telah memutuskan pemberian ganti rugi lebih dari $56 juta kepada keluarga Beth Buchanan, seorang mahasiswa doktoral berusia 23 tahun yang tewas akibat ulah pengemudi yang diduga mabuk pada tahun 2023. Buchanan meninggal saat sedang mengantar ibunya ke bandara Atlanta ketika Cesar Raudales Macias diduga mengemudikan kendaraannya melawan arus di jalan raya dan menabrak mobilnya dari depan. Pihak keluarga menyatakan bahwa putusan tersebut bersifat simbolis karena mereka tidak mengharapkan pembayaran dari terdakwa yang kini berstatus buron.

Beth Buchanan sedang mengantar ibunya, Julie Olson-Buchanan, ke bandara Atlanta sekitar pukul 3 pagi pada 13 Februari 2023, di sepanjang University Parkway dekat Patrick Mill Road SW di Winder, Georgia, sekitar 40 mil dari pusat kota Atlanta. Cesar Raudales Macias, yang saat itu berusia 25 tahun, diduga melakukan putar balik ilegal dan mengemudi melawan arus, lalu menabrak bagian depan mobil Kia Soul milik Buchanan. Benturan tersebut sangat keras hingga seorang saksi mata mengira mobil itu meledak, menurut gugatan hukum yang diajukan pada tahun 2024. Buchanan tewas di tempat kejadian, sementara ibunya mengalami luka serius yang mengharuskannya dirawat selama berminggu-minggu di rumah sakit serta menanggung trauma emosional yang mendalam, termasuk panggilan 911 yang memilukan saat ia berusaha memeriksa kondisi putrinya.
