Family awarded $126 M settlement after deadly Dec. 2019 crash involving off-duty Moore officer
MOORE, OK – A family, who lost their loved one — an 18-year-old girl — to a December 2019 crash involving an off-duty Moore Police officer, can soon expect a $126 million settlement.
KOCO said this week a federal jury awarded the girl’s family $36 million, and also awarded $90 million to the victim’s estate.
The crash occurred on Dec. 14, 2019, off Southeast 134th Street and Sooner Road in Oklahoma City. The prosecutor said the off-duty officer was reportedly driving 100 mph, on his way to pick up keys for a squad car to a “Shop with a Cop” event, when he crashed into a car driven by an 18-year-old girl.
The 18-year-old girl, a Moore High School senior, was on her way to take the ACT when she was struck by the off-duty officer. She died from her injuries.
The officer pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in 2021 and initially received an 18-year prison sentence, but is now set to face only a 9-year prison sentence.
