An East Brunswick woman who was injured after the vehicle she was riding in was rear-ended by a tow truck agreed to a $1.5 million settlement in her Middlesex County case, David v. Puleio's Service Center, on March 11, one week before it was scheduled to go to trial.

Frank M. Ciuffani, a retired Middlesex County Superior Court judge with Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer in Woodbridge, mediated the case.

The plaintiff, Michelle David, now 37, was a passenger in a silver 2012 Mazda CX-7 being driven by her husband, Jose David, on Feb. 26, 2016.
