Domare i Georgia tilldömer 56,5 miljoner dollar till familjen till student som omkom i trafikolycka

En domare i Georgia har tilldömt familjen till 23-åriga doktoranden Beth Buchanan, som omkom efter att ha blivit påkörd av en misstänkt rattfull förare 2023, ett skadestånd på över 56 miljoner dollar. Buchanan avled när hon körde sin mamma till flygplatsen i Atlanta efter att Cesar Raudales Macias påstås ha kört i fel körriktning på en motorväg och frontalkrockat med hennes bil. Familjen beskrev domen som symbolisk då de inte förväntar sig någon betalning från den efterlyste svaranden.

Beth Buchanan körde sin mamma, Julie Olson-Buchanan, till flygplatsen i Atlanta omkring kl. 03.00 den 13 februari 2023 längs University Parkway nära Patrick Mill Road SW i Winder, Georgia, cirka 6,5 mil från centrala Atlanta. Cesar Raudales Macias, som då var 25 år gammal, ska ha gjort en otillåten u-sväng och kört i fel körriktning, varpå han frontalkrockade med Buchanans Kia Soul. Kollisionen var så våldsam att ett vittne trodde att bilen hade exploderat, enligt stämningsansökan som lämnades in 2024. Buchanan avled på platsen, medan hennes mamma ådrog sig allvarliga skador som krävde veckor på sjukhus och genomled ett djupt emotionellt trauma, vilket inkluderade ett hjärtskärande 911-samtal där hon försökte hjälpa sin dotter.
