The family of a state Department of Transportation supervisor struck and killed on Route 8 near the Waterbury-Naugatuck line in 2012 has been awarded nearly $7.3 million in a wrongful death lawsuit.
The Connecticut Law Tribune reports that a Hartford Superior Court jury awarded damages Friday to the estate of Daniel DiNardi.
The 41-year-old father of two from Rocky Hill was struck by a tractor-trailer on the right shoulder of Route 8 northbound on March 22, 2012, after parking his DOT truck, which had its emergency lights on.
The tractor-trailer driver, Gina Davies of Janesville, Wisconsin, was sentenced to two years in prison last year for misconduct with a motor vehicle.
DiNardi's estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Davies and her employer, PTX Services of Plymouth, Wisconsin.
