The City of Novato this week settled a lawsuit filed by the Osheroff family—whose 9-year-old daughter Melody was killed in 2009 when she was hit crossing San Marin Drive by drunk cyclist Edward Schaefer. The $675,000 settlement concluded with no admission of negligence from the city; the Osheroffs suit alleged the pedestrian line of sight was obscured in the crosswalk.
Melody and her father Aaron were using the crosswalk when Schaefer hit them. Aaron Osheroff lost a leg in the collision.
