Roitiki Tyler only got to see her star athlete son play one college football game.
Tyler and her 11-year-old flew from Florida to Iowa to watch Devontre'a Tyler play middle linebacker in a Saturday game in November 2014. The next night, they were driving home to Arcadia from the airport when a Ford F-150 truck hit them head-on at 65 mph.
The mother of two died. Her young son survived without physical injuries, but the emotional pain inflicted on him and his older brother led an Orange County jury to award them $12.2 million earlier this month.
