Sunbathing SUV Accident

Minneapolis, MN: (Nov-21-07) The family of Cindy Conolly, 49, of Sioux City, Iowa, brought a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Oxnard, after she was hit by a police sports utility vehicle on June 12, 2006, while sunbathing on Mandalay Beach in Oxnard, CA. Records show that city police officers claimed they were unaware that they had run over the woman and they resumed regular street patrol until a witness called 911 and they returned to the scene 20 minutes later. As part of a settlement reached, Conolly's son, Ronnie Bassett and his sister Tammy Krieger will share a $2.75 million payout from the city. Sources stated that Cindy Conolly had attended her son Ronnie Bassett's oceanside wedding the previous day at a beachside resort. City officials had said in 2006 that the city accepted full responsibility for the incident, and agreed with the victim's family, that the death could have been wholly prevented.
