Case Details
Hyram Montero reached a settlement of $200,000 with the city of Coconut Creek, Florida for the high-speed police chase that caused Abigail Espinoza’s death. Espinoza was a passenger in a car driven by Fabreece Ductan, who fled from police after an officer smelled alcohol and marijuana. The police chase reached speeds of nearly 80 mph in a 40 mph zone. Ductan crashed into another car, resulting in Espinoza's death. Ductan pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide.
Additional Notes
Settlement reached with the city of Coconut Creek. Florida law limits the amount a state agency can pay for claims. The family accepted the maximum settlement rather than go through a trial.
