The family of a man alleged to have been permanently disabled in a drunken-driving accident accepted $1.1 million on July 19 in a Middlesex County suit, Arcia v. Hwang.

In December 2010, Yea Hwang, a 19-year-old Rutgers University student, was driving home from a student function at the Royal Gardens restaurant in Edison when she collided with Jonathan Arcia, then 40, on Woodbridge Avenue.
