    The family of a man who died after his motorcycle collided with a tractor-trailer settled with the semi driver's employer for $1 million. The twenty-six-year-old man was driving north on a Fresno, California highway when the tractor-trailer, heading south, attempted to make a U-turn, causing the man to crash into the semi's right rear tire. The man's wife sued the Faguaro Transportation & Storage Company, alleging the company's driver failed to yield the right of way while making the turn.
