San Diego to pay $24 million to cyclist who claimed the city was partly to blame for conditions that led to his being struck by a drunken driver.
San Diego has agreed to a nearly $24-million settlement in a lawsuit with a cyclist paralyzed seven years ago when a car driven by an intoxicated driver collided with him on a blind turn.
The driver of the car was convicted of driving under the influence of methamphetamine and is serving a 19-year prison sentence. But Vinolo filed a lawsuit in 2016 contending the city also deserved part of the blame. The suit says evidence the city was negligent regarding the road included a news conference one week after the crash where then-Mayor Kevin Faulconer touted upgrades to the road, including trimming bushes and installing new signs.
He lost one kidney and was on dialysis for almost three weeks while the other kidney recovered. He also suffered damage to his liver, lungs and spleen. Doctors say he will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, court documents show.
