A husband and wife who suffered back and neck injuries in a collision with a dump truck agreed to a $1.5 million settlement in their Monmouth County suit, Megill v. Muscari, on Nov. 2.

Douglas and Catherine Megill were driving on Belmar Boulevard where it meets Route 34 in Wall on Oct. 16, 2015, when a dump truck headed north on Route 34 rear-ended another car that was stopped at a red light. The dump truck continued into the intersection, striking the passenger side of the Megill vehicle. The impact caused the Megills’ car to strike a fourth vehicle, the suit claimed.
