A man who claims he suffered severe injuries after getting hit by a bus will receive $7 million in a settlement from the Orange County Transportation Authority.

The OCTA claims that Ronald Cunningham was extremely drunk when he was hit by the bus, and that he fell because his BAC was more than three times the legal limit. He was even supposedly carrying two 18-packs of beer when he was hit.

Cunningham accepted the settlement offer the night before his case was set to go to trial. A spokesperson for the transit authority said the OCTA wanted to go to trial, believing they should not be held accountable since Cunningham was drunk at the time of the accident, but the attorneys for the insurance company wanted to settle.
