KingCo pays $1.5M to settle Metro death lawsuit

March 13, 2009

The family of an Auburn man killed by a Metro bus has settled a wrongful death lawsuit against King County for $1.5 million.

 

The 21-year-old pickup driver, Michael Dahlquist, was killed in April in a collision on Highway 164.

 

Police say the bus driver may have been speeding when she swerved to avoid a vehicle that slowed in front of her. She was fired after the accident.

 

The lawyer for the Dahlquist family, Stephen Bulzomi, says the driver had a record of accidents and the county transit agency was negligent in allowing her to continue to drive.
