£50,000 in out of court settlement for back injury

A taxi driver whose career was ended due to a back injury he suffered when his cab collided with another vehicle has received £50,000 in an out of court settlement. He had no time to react when an oncoming car suddenly turned and cut directly across his path. He swerved and did his best to avoid a collision but his car was struck by the other vehicle and bounced off into a concrete post at the side of the road.
