A motor accident claims tribunal in Tiruvallur has directed an insurance firm to pay Rs 22.3 lakh to the family of a goldsmith who was run over by a rashly driven truck while crossing the road near Red Hills. The tribunal, however, held the goldsmith liable for crossing over dangerously by climbing over a median and deducted 10% (Rs 2.2 lakh) of the sum for contributory negligence.
