(KSL News) --The two families at the heart of a car accident, which killed a bicyclist in Big Cottonwood Canyon in 2004, have reached an amicable settlement, avoiding a bruising fight in civil court.
Betsy Deseelhorst, wife of the owner of Solitude Ski Resort, was convicted earlier this year of negligent homicide in the death of Josie Johnson.
The SUV Deseelhorst was driving struck Johnson as she was riding her bike.
Lawyers for the Johnson family say the Deseelhorst's insurance company has agreed to pay the Johnsons 2.5 million dollars and put an undisclosed sum in a memorial scholarship fund in Johnson's name at the University of Utah, where she was a student.
