AUSTIN (KXAN) - The city of Austin will pay $250,000 to a man hit by an Austin Police Department car after the officer driving ran a stop sign.

The crash happened last July in North Austin off Lamplight Village Avenue. Officer Damon Dunn said he was distracted by his on-board computer when he ran the stop sign causing Louis Olivier to slam his motorcycle in the patrol car.

The crash was captured on Dunn’s dashboard camera.

Olivier spent time in the hospital and underwent multiple surgeries, according to city lawyers.

The 71-year-old was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. His attorney has said that he is no longer able to walk without a cane and is no longer able to use his right foot.

The guy needed a better lawyer caption says he can’t walk without a cane or use his right foot. He deserves atleast double what he got and the idiot cop deserves to be a file clerk the rest of his career.
