Madero v. Broughton CA4/2
Defendant and appellant Mercedes Devoney Broughton appeals from a judgment entered against her after trial, where she was ordered to pay damages in excess of three million dollars. The award stemmed from a car accident where Broughton crossed the double yellow center line of the two-lane State Route 62 (SR-62) in Rice, California and hit a minivan driven by Eloisa Madero. Also in the minivan with Eloisa was the Madero’s son JC; the Madero’s 16-year-old daughter DJ; Eloisa’s sister, Angela Baca; and DJ’s boyfriend, Oscar Salas. The minivan rolled over several times until it came to rest on its roof. DJ died instantly and Eloisa suffered major injuries.
