A former cab driver has been awarded $6.6 million two months after a liability jury found that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey failed to shut down sprinklers at John F. Kennedy International Airport, causing a road to freeze and cars to crash.

A damages jury awarded the $6.6 million to Robert Favors on Tuesday—$4 million for future medical expenses, $240,000 for past medical expenses, $1.375 million for future pain and suffering and $1 million for past pain and suffering—according to his lawyer, Howard Frederick of Silbowitz, Garafola, Silbowitz, Schatz & Frederick in Manhattan.
