Buffalo to pay $3.25 million to twin sisters injured by police tow truck
The City of Buffalo will pay $3.25 million to two Cheektowaga sisters who suffered spinal injuries when a Police Department tow truck ran a traffic light and triggered a crash downtown four years ago.
Brigette Brzezniak will get $2.25 million under a settlement that was authorized Thursday by a Common Council committee. She was 24 at the time of the accident and was a passenger in a Ford Escape when it collided with the tow truck at Seneca Street and Michigan Avenue.
Brzezniak already has undergone two surgeries with a third one coming up, said Corporation Counsel Timothy A. Ball during Thursday's Claims Committee meeting.
Her twin sister, Kristen, who was driving the Escape, will get $1 million under the settlement. She's had four surgeries with a fifth one looming, Ball said.
