A woman who suffered spinal injuries after her car was struck in a rear-end accident agreed to a $1.5 million settlement in her Middlesex County suit, Pittman v. Collins, on Jan. 18.

Alma Pittman was stopped at a stop sign on Montague Avenue at the intersection with Green Street in Woodbridge on Aug. 25, 2015, when her car was struck from behind by a vehicle driven by James Collins. Collins was an employee of the Cerebral Palsy Association and was driving a vehicle owned by the association.
