The estate of a Rutgers University chemistry professor who died after a head-on collision with a bus accepted $2 million on April 16 in its suit, Thompson v. Spiliotopoulos.

On Feb. 13, 2009, Hugh Thompson, 72, of Manhattan, was exiting the Pulaski Skyway when his car was hit by a bus going the wrong way on the ramp. He was taken to the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Hospital for bleeding in the brain, leg fractures and other injuries. He went into a coma and died when taken off life support eight days later, says estate attorney Dennis Donnelly of Blume Goldfaden Berkowitz Donnelly Fried & Forte in Chatham.
