Brian Love killed and two others injured in car crash at Auburn Way N and E Main Street in Auburn on July 5

The King County Prosecutor on Wednesday filed vehicular homicide, felony hit and run, and reckless endangerment charges against the man who allegedly drove the vehicle that killed 56-year-old cab driver Brian F. Love on July 5 in Auburn. Floyd D. Gonzalez, 29, of Auburn, is in King County Jail on $1 million bail. The vehicular homicide charge alleges that Gonzales was under the influence of alcohol and driving in a reckless manner at the time of the collision. Prosecutors tie the reckless endangerment charge to the allegation that, by speeding and failing to stop for a red light, Gonzales put his girlfiend and sole passenger, Latasha Moses, 21, at "a substantial risk of death and serious injury." At 5:50 a.m. on July 5, Gonzales, traveling at an estimated 50 to 60 miles per hour on Auburn Way North in his girlfriend's SUV, ran a red light at the intersection of Auburn Way North and East Main Street and slammed into the driver's door of a red taxi, killing Love on impact.What money damages are recoverable in a death claim? Every death from an accident is tragic. When a death is the result of someone else’s negligence, certain survivors may make a wrongful death claim against those responsible. Close relatives may recover monetary damages for the loss of financial support, as well as for medical, funeral, and burial expenses, lost earnings, and in some cases for pain, suffering, and loss of love and affection. Learn more about wrongful death claims here…
