Fox59 reported Thursday that the settlement entered in Marion Superior Court this week will pay $1.35 million to Kurt Weekly and $975,000 to Mary Mills. The two married after the August 2010 crash by Officer David Bisard that also killed motorcyclist Eric Wells.
The city settled separately in June for $1.55 million with Wells' family.
Bisard faces charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, reckless homicide and criminal recklessness. He allegedly had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19 percent at the time, but the blood draw was improper under state law, so it might not be allowed as evidence.
