The Huntsville City Council approved a $275,000 settlement of a lawsuit brought by three Hispanic residents who claimed they were injured in an automobile accident.
Thursday’s city council agenda listed the city as a defendant in a case brought in March of last year by Jose D. Casiano-Esteban, Fabiana Domingo-Felipe and Domingo-Felipe’s minor son against the driver of a vehicle in an accident they were involved in on Feb. 27, 2024.
The initial complaint alleges the three were injured in an accident involving a 2008 Ford F250 driven by Shawn Patrick Randle, who was named as a defendant. The suit alleged Randle operated the vehicle negligently which led to injuries suffered by the plaintiffs.
The complaint did not list the city’s alleged liability in the case. The plaintiffs sought compensation for the injuries, the cost of medical care, pain and suffering and the loss of and the ability to earn wages.
The city agreed to pay $100,000 to two of the plaintiffs and $75,000 to the third.
The case was dismissed with prejudice in April, but is now listed in mediation.
Efforts to reach the plaintiffs’ attorneys were unsuccessful. The city does not comment on pending litigation.

Read MoreA report was issued from the National Weather Service on Friday at 4:03 p.m. for strong thunderstorms until 4:30 p.m. for Macon, Lee and Russell counties.
Residents may experience wind gusts of up to 50 mph.
“At 4:03 p.m., Doppler radar tracked strong thunderstorms along a line extending from near Bibb City to 6 miles south of Griffen Mill to Society Hill. Movement was southeast at 10 mph,” states the weather service. “Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects.”
Locations impacted by the alert include Auburn, Phenix City, Tuskegee, Smiths, Smiths Station, Uchee, Lake Tuskegee, Tuskegee National Forest, Beauregard, Davisville, Ladonia, Society Hill, Griffen Mill, Russell County Sports Complex, Bibb City, Warriorstand, Uphapee Creek, Chewacla State Park, I 85 Rest Area and Monterey Heights.
According to the weather service, “If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building.”
Each year, lightning strikes the United States approximately 25 million times, with the majority of these electrifying events occurring during the summer months. Unfortunately, lightning is responsible for claiming the lives of approximately 20 people annually, as reported by the weather service. The threat of lightning becomes more pronounced as thunderstorms draw nearer, peaking when the storm is directly overhead and gradually waning as it moves away.
To ensure your safety during a thunderstorm, consider the following recommendations:
Lightning safety plan:
Indoors safety measures:
Wait for the all-clear:
When indoor shelter isn’t available:
If you find yourself outdoors with no access to indoor shelter during a thunderstorm, take these steps to maximize your safety:
In summary, when facing the threat of lightning, preparedness and vigilance are your best allies. By following these guidelines, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of lightning-related incidents and prioritize your safety.
Rain can turn roads into hazards. Stay informed and follow these tips from the weather service to ensure safety during heavy rainfall:
Beware of rapid water flow:
During heavy rain, avoid parking or walking near culverts or drainage ditches, where swift-moving water can pose a serious risk.
Maintain safe driving distances:
Use the two-second rule to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you and allow an extra two seconds in heavy rain.
Reduce speed and drive cautiously:
On wet roads, slowing down is paramount. Gradually ease off the accelerator and avoid abrupt braking to prevent skidding.
Choose your lane wisely:
Stick to the middle lanes to minimize the risk of hydroplaning. Outer lanes are more prone to accumulating water.
Prioritize visibility
Turn on your headlights and be careful of other vehicles to the rear and in blind spot areas as they are especially difficult to see through rain-spattered windows.
Watch out for slippery roads:
The initial half-hour of rain is when roads are slickest due to a mixture of rain, grime, and oil. Exercise heightened caution during this period.
Keep a safe distance from large vehicles:
Large trucks and buses can reduce your visibility with tire spray. Avoid tailgating and pass them swiftly and safely.
Mind your windshield wipers:
Heavy rain can overload the wiper blades. When visibility is so limited that the edges of the road or other vehicles cannot be seen at a safe distance, it is time to pull over and wait for the rain to ease up. It is best to stop at rest areas or other protected areas.
When stopping by the roadside is your only option, position your vehicle as far off the road as possible, ideally beyond guardrails. Keep your headlights on and activate emergency flashers to alert other drivers of your position.
In the face of heavy rain, these precautions can make a significant difference in ensuring your safety on the road. Remember to stay informed about weather conditions and heed guidance from local authorities for a secure journey.

Read MoreIt turns out Superman is a big fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, and he’d rather keep Jalen Hurts running the quarterback sneak for the NFL team than try to move the line with his Kryptonian might.
David Corenswet plays the Man of Steel in the “Superman” movie opening this weekend. His many interviews in advance of the film’s release have touched on his devotion to Philadelphia sports teams, and the Pennsylvania actor was asked if he’d rather have Superman or current Eagles QB Jalen Hurts under center for a fourth-and-1 quarterback sneak, or, as the Philadelphia version is called, Tush Push.
“I’d say Jalen Hurts,” Corenswet said. “I expect that there’s a lot more technique and organization involved in the mechanics and success of the Tush Push than meets the eye, so to speak, and I think Superman, he’d just end up tripping over his feet or something. I’d trust Jalen with it – Mr. Hurts. Not that we know each other.”
With Hurts at quarterback and two or three teammates lined up behind him to push, Philadelphia has plowed into the end zone or over the line to gain on short-yardage snaps like clockwork in a formation that came to be known as the Tush Push and Brotherly Shove. And while the Eagles’ QB sneak has been copied around the NFL, it has not been mastered as in Philadelphia.
In his four seasons as the Eagles’ starting quarterback, Hurts has run for 55 regular-season touchdowns. Only two quarterbacks in NFL history have more. Thirty-three of those touchdowns came on 1-yard runs.
During that time, the former Alabama standout also set the NFL record for playoff touchdowns by a quarterback with 10. Half came on 1-yard runs.
The NFL’s team owners turned down a proposal this offseason to outlaw the Eagles’ version of the quarterback sneak by reviving rules against assisting the ball-carrier. Twenty-four of the 32 team owners had to vote for the change for it to pass, and the proposal came up two votes short.

Read MoreThe National Weather Service issued a weather alert at 3:51 p.m. on Friday for strong thunderstorms until 4:30 p.m. for Bibb County.
The storms may bring wind gusts of up to 40 mph and marble-sized hail (0.5 inches).
“At 3:50 p.m., Doppler radar tracked a strong thunderstorm near Talladega National Forest, or near Centreville, moving east at 10 mph,” says the weather service. “Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects. Minor hail damage to vegetation is possible.”
Locations impacted by the alert include Brent, Centreville, Talladega National Forest, West Centreville, Trio, Six Mile and Bibb County Airport.
According to the weather service, “Torrential rainfall is also occurring with this storm and may lead to localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways. Frequent cloud to ground lightning is occurring with this storm. Lightning can strike 10 miles away from a thunderstorm. Seek a safe shelter inside a building or vehicle.”
Lightning strikes the United States approximately 25 million times each year, with the bulk of these electrical discharges occurring during the summer months. Tragically, lightning claims the lives of about 20 individuals annually, as reported by the weather service.
