The estate of a woman killed in a multi-vehicle accident on Interstate 78 was paid the last of a $1.28 million settlement on July 9 in Estate of Chernykh v. Owusu-Dapaah.

On Aug. 28, 2016, Ekaterina Chernykh, 27, was a rear-seat passenger in a vehicle driven by a friend, Yuriy Kapilovich. The four passengers were traveling westbound on I-78 near Clinton Township, heading to Pennsylvania, when a vehicle heading in the opposite direction lost control and crossed the grassy median into the westbound lanes, striking two vehicles, including the one driven by Kapilovich, and then finally colliding with another vehicle, according to the estate’s lawyer, Yelena Kofman-Delgado of Vlasac & Shmaruk in Iselin.
