The family of a Holyoke woman killed in a crosswalk in 2017 after she was struck by a driver has been awarded over $7 million in a wrongful death suit.
The complete settlement, including compounded interest, is more than $9.5 million in the case of the late Zoe Rosenthal, a popular teacher with The Literacy Project.
Attorneys representing Rosenthal’s daughters, Tiffany and Chelsea Castillo, alleged the driver, Charles J. Davignon of Holyoke, then 63, was negligent when he made a left turn into the crosswalk, at the intersection of Lyman and Canal streets, on Nov. 27, 2017, and hit Rosenthal, who was 52 at the time.
