Ford has been ordered to pay a gigantic $1.7 billion settlement by a jury in Georgia, with regards to an old case from 2014 where a couple lost their lives in a pickup truck crash.
Georgia couple Melvin and Voncile Hill were killed in April of 2014 when their 2002 Ford F-250 truck rolled over. The couple’s children, Kim and Adam Hill, sued Ford claiming that the roofs on their pickup trucks were “dangerously defective.”
