Verdict of $353 million in the death of Gwen Inglis

The family of the late Nguyen Inglis received a $353 million verdict in a civil lawsuit against the driver who killed Nguyen while riding her bicycle on May 16, 2021.

Lawyers representing her husband, Michael Inglis, announced the verdict in a press release on Tuesday, December 6.

The driver, Ryan Scott Montoya, struck and killed Inglis while training in a bike lane near his home in Lakewood, Colorado.

He pleaded guilty in April to vehicular homicide by drunk driving and was sentenced in June to eight years in prison.

Inglis was a US Masters road race champion in the 45-49 age group and a member of the Buck Swift-Cyclington cycling team. At the time of her death, she was 46 years old.

"No amount of money will bring Gwen back. If there were, we would all pay it. But part of her legacy can now save other lives," attorney Megan Hotman posted in a statement on Instagram. 'Part of this verdict is punitive damages, damages to deter others from this kind of behavior.'
