93-3-WMR Audio on Demand presents the Preston and Steve show podcast.

And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

Today is Thursday, it's June 28th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning in what is being called the largest settlement in Pennsylvania court history.

After nearly four years, the victims of a deadly food truck explosion will receive $160 million

plus an additional confidential amount.

The food truck erupted in a ball of fire on a street corner in Feltonville on July 1st, 2014,

killing the owner of the truck and her teenage daughter.

Last week, federal authorities announced indictments against U-Haul and the manager of its hunting

park location alleging violations of hazardous material codes.

The owner of the food truck filled the propane tank at U-Haul.

Investigators claim it was not done properly, and that caused a leak and ultimately the fatal

explosion.

Along with the two victims who were killed, three others were severely, severely burned, and even more were injured.

Do you remember the footage of the explosion?

I thought it was miraculous that not more people were killed.

It looked huge.

The burned victims are minors, and they were not named in the settlement for privacy reasons.

They have a lifetime of suffering and medical procedures, plastic surgery, and dysfunction, and we hope this gives them an opportunity to rebuild their lives as much as they can, said Attorney Robert Mangaluzi.

The estates of the two women killed are also receiving about $36.5 million as part of this suit.

Since the tragedy, there are new safety standards for checking and maintaining propane tanks.

The one that exploded in this case was 70 years old.
