A lawsuit stemming from an incident in which a man sustained a traumatic brain injury after being hit by a vehicle on I-95 has been settled for nearly $16.5 million.

In May 2015, plaintiff Hoang Le pulled over on the shoulder of the highway after a diesel fuel tank fell from the bottom of a truck and spilled fuel across the road. According to the plaintiff’s pretrial memorandum, an oncoming vehicle lost control after hitting the fuel slick and struck Le.
