The lawsuit from a 2017 crash of an airplane on 1900 West in Roy lingers on, more than three years after it was filed.
The pilot, apparently, was not insured, leaving Samantha Sandoval – hit in her car in the Sept. 12, 2017, incident while driving along the roadway – traumatized and with bills to pay, according to Utah Rep. Cheryl Acton, a West Jordan Republican.
But in a bid to give victims like Sandoval at least a measure of help going forward, Utah lawmakers this session approved a bill requiring general Utah aviation pilots with airplanes to carry at least $100,000 in liability insurance, the Standard Examiner reported.
