A woman who hit and killed a pedestrian in Columbia while she was talking on her phone and speeding has been ordered to pay $10 million to the victim’s wife.
Circuit Court Judge Joshua Devine on Wednesday approved the judgment in a wrongful death lawsuit filed against Regine McCraken by Adrienne Siddens, KMIZ-TV reported.
Siddens’ husband, Randall Siddens, was killed on May 5, 2019, when McCracken hit him as he picked up traffic cones while volunteering at a triathlon, police said.
