$16 million settlement reached in wrongful death lawsuit over death of Cleburne woman

A settlement has been reached in the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of a Cleburne, Texas, woman who was killed when gas well equipment from a passing vehicle smashed into her car.

The testimony was stopped after witnesses gave conflicting statements during the trial on Thursday morning. A settlement was offered to the family later that day.

Pioneer Drilling, the company that employed the driver responsible for the accident, settled the wrongful death lawsuit with the family for $16 million.

The victim was 41-year-old Rhonda Kay Henson. Her family sued both Pioneer Drilling and the driver of the truck, charging the defendants with negligence and a wrongful death claim.
