uSANTA ROS TO PAY $260,000 TO WOMAN HIT BY POLICE TRUCK: SANTA ROSA  (AP) — The Santa Rosa City Council has agreed to pay a settlement to a California woman hit by a police truck.

The Press Democrat reported Friday that 29-year-old Laure Friedell filed a lawsuit in March 2018 after her right foot and left leg were run over the year before by 37-year-old police detective Michael Spediacci III while he was driving into a gas station parking spot.

The Santa Rosa City Council says it agreed last month to settle by paying Friedell $260,000 in exchange for her dropping her suit.
