Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim facing lawsuit
in fatal crash
SYRACUSE,
N.Y. (AP) — Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim is being sued over a fatal
accident he was involved in nearly two years ago.
According
to Syracuse.com, the family of Jorge Jimenez, who was struck and killed by
an SUV driven by Boeheim in February 2019, alleged the coach’s actions were
“negligent, reckless and wanton.” The four-page lawsuit was filed Monday in
Onondaga County Supreme Court by attorney Terence O’Connor and seeks an
unspecified settlement.
The
accident occurred amid icy conditions on the night of Feb. 20, 2019, after a
mid-week game in the Carrier Dome. The 51-year-old Jimenez was a passenger in a
car that had skidded on the eastbound side of Interstate 690 heading out of the
city and came to a stop perpendicular across two of three lanes. The victim had
exited the disabled car and was struck and killed near the guardrail when
Boeheim approached the scene and swerved to avoid hitting the car.
According to
state law, the family had three years to file a lawsuit. A call from The
Associated Press seeking comment from O’Connor was not immediately returned.
According to Syracuse.com, Boeheim had not yet responded in court papers.
The
75-year-old coach declined comment through a university spokesman.

They got the money!
April 26, 2023 the suit has reached an unspecified settlement.

What was
Boeheim guilty of since, “A police
report said Boeheim was not driving ‘reckless, unreasonable or with gross
negligence.’”?
Since this
is the bottom, here is The Bottom Line...
It Looks To Fella That Boeheim Is Guilty Of Being Famous and Having Good Insurance
Such a
Shame!

However, in today's world, the Main Stream Media (MSM) reports on a story, the story is the source of truth regardless of fact or validity. So do not look for support of the truth in police reports, just find ONE MSM that accuses The coach of negligence and you have your answer.
