Detroit, MI

Detroit, MI: (Jul-25-07) The family of Demtrius Murry brought a lawsuit against the city, after Murry, 31, was killed June 4, 2005, when he was hit by an empty bus driven by Detroit Department of Transportation driver Carmichael Posley. The suit claimed that the accident took place when Murry was parked on the shoulder of the highway, changing a tire on his Chevy Blazer. Several other people inside the vehicle were injured in the crash; their lawsuits are pending. Legal counsel for Murry's fiancée, Tina Rice stated that the accident occurred because Posley was tired at the end of his shift.

In a settlement reached, the city agreed to grant Rice $1.5 million. Rice and Murry have four children. Rice's lawyers claim that if the city fails to pay by Aug. 8, 2007, it will be required to pay an extra $750 a day in fines and interest. [DETROIT NEWS: TIRE CHANGE DEATH]
