A Malibu woman has been ordered to pay 18 million dollars in damages to the daughter of a woman killed in a traffic crash at the 101 Freeway and Kanan Dume Road.
A jury in Van Nuys found that Nicole Herschel acted with malice … because she tried to cover up the incident.
Yijing Chen and her mother were crossing the 101 Freeway onramp in a crosswalk . when Herschel drove over the mother with a large Chevy Silverado truck.
After the crash, Herschel got out of her pickup, dragged the body of Chen’s unconscious mother toward the curb, then backed up and parked.
But at that point … she began lying.
She told the California Highway Patrol that she came upon the injured women while driving to the supermarket.
A CHP officer found her answers “evasive.”
She had the truck washed … and parked it at LAX.
Herschel spent several months in county jail after pleading no contest to vehicular manslaughter.
Herschel had worked as a horse trainer in the Malibu area.
Her lawyers acknowledged that Herschel was liable and that her negligence caused the crash.
They were not available for comment to the Los Angeles Times … which reported this story.
