A pickup driven by Jeffrey Kutz, left, plowed into a car occupied by Amadeo Sosa, right, that was parked behind a disabled dump truck on Route 9 in Old Bridge on Dec. 18, 2018.The Perth Amboy man who nearly died in 2018 after a drunk cop drove into his parked car at approximately 70 mph has received a $2.25 million settlement, according to his attorney.
Fernandes Steak House in Sayreville, where the holiday party was held, agreed to pay $250,000, Leonardis said, and Officer Anthony D’Onofrio and his wife Jane agreed to pay $500,000. They hosted the afterparty, where roughly a dozen fellow officers watched Kutz leave to drive home just before midnight, according to depositions in the civil suit.
Amadeo Sosa had to be extricated from the wreckage of his car and airlifted for emergency heart surgery.But Sosa and his family are grateful he is alive. Leonardis said he’s never seen a case like this in his 30 years as a civil attorney — not just because a sergeant of over 20 years drove while so heavily intoxicated, but because a room full of fellow officers didn’t stop him.
Between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., Kutz ate food and drank six beers, two glasses of the sangria available on each table and a shot of amaretto, he testified. Officers then went to the D’Onofrio home in Parlin, where they continued drinking at a bar in his basement. Kutz drank four pints of beer and two shots of homemade blueberry alcohol that an officer’s underage daughter brought to the party, he testified. He estimated there were 13 officers there.
So much for All Lives Matter.
Please don’t drink and drive this holiday season. 🦃🎄
How is Kutz not in jail?
