A cheese company has agreed to pay a $26.1 million settlement in a Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas case involving a car accident in Central Pennsylvania that resulted in the death of one person and life-changing injuries to another.

When defendant Spencer Chapman’s tractor-trailer, driven for GLC Transportation Inc. and other Great Lakes Cheese defendants, hit a Toyota on Interstate 80 in July 2010, David Cook was killed, Peter M. “P.J.” Sneeringer had a catastrophic brain injury that has left him unable to walk normally or speak clearly, and Kathryn “Katie” Sneeringer witnessed the death of her father, the death of her two dogs and the catastrophic injury of her husband, according to the plaintiffs’ mediation memorandum.
