The estate of a 42-year-old Colchester man killed when his pickup truck was rear-ended by a driver high on heroin and cocaine has settled a wrongful death lawsuit for $1.1 million.

Kevin Dutra was driving northbound on Interstate 91 in Windsor Locks in October 2016 when a Volkswagen Tiguan driven by Katell Gunning struck the rear of his vehicle and caused him to lose control, according to a lawsuit filed in April 2017 in Hartford Superior Court. The impact caused Dutra’s Ford F-350 to hit a guardrail and flip over, according to John Houlihan Jr., attorney for Dutra’s estate. Dutra died instantly.
