Washington, DC: (Jun-14-08) A $2.3 million settlement has been reached in a wrongful death matter in Washington, DC. Martha Stringer Schoenborn, 59, and her friend Sally Dean McGhee, 54, were struck by a Metro bus while in a downtown crosswalk. The lawsuit was filed by Gregory Schoenborn, husband of one of the victims. Metro driver Victor Kolako, pleaded guilty in September to two felony counts of negligent homicide and was sentenced to a year in jail last December.
