Settlement Reached in Bicycle -- Dump Truck Crash

The family of a Seattle bicyclist killed by a dump truck have settled their wrongful death suit against the company that owns the truck. The amount of the settlement is undisclosed.

The accident occurred as the bicyclist was riding in a bike lane when the dump truck made a sudden right turn and struck the 19 year old. The driver of the dump truck, apparently unaware he hit the man, continued driving, dragging the man under the truck. The bicyclist ultimately died as a result of the injuries he sustained.

The accident has created public outrage in the bicycling community, and prompted city leaders to enact more bike safety regulations.
