A truck driver who lost a leg allegedly as a result of a collision agreed on Oct. 18 to a $4.2 million settlement of his Essex County suit, Martinez v. Inter-City Tire and Auto Center.
According to the complaint, Gadiel Martinez was driving an 18-wheel truck west on Tyler Street in Newark on June 8, 2006, when another 18-wheeler, headed east, made a left turn in his path. When Martinez swerved to avoid impact, his truck turned on its side and the driver’s door flew open. Martinez was ejected from the cab and was pinned under one of the truck’s tires. His injuries required an amputation of his left leg at the hip.
