Nearly two years after a motorcyclist was struck by a car and hurled onto the 405 Freeway in Westminster, a jury on Tuesday awarded him $21.5 million for his injuries. A lawsuit filed in March 2018 against the driver of a Kia Optima and his employer, an Irvine car dealership, detailed injuries Matthew Rada suffered in a crash the month before. On the video, both the driver of the Kia and a second driver pulled over after the collision, as did other witnesses. Owen said Rada would suffer from his injuries “for the rest of his life” and was grateful for the verdict. “He’s very thankful for what the jury did, but it’s by no means over for him.”
