Episode Details

Spokane Valley City Council just approved a $3 million settlement in the tragic 2022 crash that killed 18-year-old Bryce Adame, a high school senior with dreams of becoming an Air Force pilot. Though the driver—then 17 and impaired by cannabis—was convicted of vehicular homicide, the family blamed a road bump. The city didn’t admit fault but chose to settle under Washington’s harsh liability laws to avoid risking taxpayer money. This could be the city’s largest payout in its 23-year history, covered by insurance. Officials stand firm on no liability, while the city attorney calls for reform to make liability more proportional.
