The family of a woman who was killed in a crosswalk in Holyoke, Massachusetts has accepted a $9.5 million settlement, more than double the city’s previous record payout. The family, represented by attorney John Butters, filed suit against Holyoke and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) after the death of their mother, who was struck by a car while crossing the street. “The settlement is a victory for safety on our streets and for all pedestrians,” Butters said. “This is the largest pedestrian safety settlement in state history.”
