Settlements Reached In 4 Taconic Parkway Wrong-Way Crash Lawsuits

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — Five years after eight people were killed when an intoxicated mother collided head-on with an SUV on the Taconic Parkway, four lawsuits stemming from the crash have been settled, a lawyer said.

The terms of the settlements are confidential, said attorney Kevin Grennan, who represented one of the victims and the only survivor.

The lawsuits were brought against the estate of Diane Schuler and against her brother, who owned the minivan she was driving. Schuler was going the wrong way on the highway. The plaintiffs were Schuler’s surviving son and the estates of her daughter and the men.
