A Bellevue, Washington was awarded $4 million in a settlement involving a car crash with a police officer 3 years ago. The police officer resigned in 2006, when investigators found the crash was avoidable.

The police officer was driving down an alleyway at 35 mph in pursuit of a DUI suspect when hitting the Bellevue woman. The woman sustained traumatic brain injuries as a result of the accident and required months of recovery time.

The woman had been home from Bulgaria where she was studying under a Fulbright Scholarship. The woman has since been able to complete her studies.
