The Georgia Department of Transportation and an allegedly at-fault driver have reached a $1.4 million settlement agreement in a wrongful death case involving a road defect blamed for a fatal car crash in Conyers.
GDOT had been warned about the road defect on Ga. 138, a busy highway thoroughfare, the day before the accident, which killed a woman who was behind the wheel. The warning came from a witness who emailed the agency and said in a sworn affidavit that the pavement was in poor condition for several months prior.
