Injured woman died in a wrecked van after police had it towed, $50-million claim alleges
Briefly

The tragic case centers on the death of 65-year-old Monica Cameroni de Adams, found in a towed van after a drunk driving incident. After the crash, police arrested a suspected drunk driver and towed the van without checking for occupants. A claim filed against the city alleges gross negligence by police officers and tow operators, stating that Cameroni de Adams, who was homeless and sleeping, sustained injuries but failed to receive timely medical assistance. Her family seeks $50 million for the alleged failure to act.
In our assessment, she died some time after impact and probably perished in the tow yard, highlighting negligence by officers and tow operators.
The claim alleges police officers were negligent and reckless when they failed to look inside the van, where Cameroni De Adams was sleeping.
