The Phoenix City Council has approved a roughly $90,000 payment to a motorist hit by a Phoenix police vehicle in April of 2021.
The payout stems from a lawsuit against the city.
The complaint says the motorist was driving westbound on Broadway Road near 83rd Avenue when a left-turning Phoenix police vehicle failed to yield.
Court records say a jury found the city at fault for the collision after a trial.
