A Basque businessman who hit and killed a teenage bicyclist in 2004 has sued the boy's family for nearly $30,000 ? to pay for crash damage to his Audi A8 and for a rental car, the Spanish newspaper El Pais reports.
Tomas Delgado claims that the nighttime crash caused more than $20,000 damage and that a rental car cost him nearly $9,000.
"I'm also a victim in all of this, you can't fix the lad's problems, but you can fix mine," Delgado told the paper. He was not charged in the crash that killed 17-year-old Enaitz Iriondo, who was not wearing a helmet or reflective clothing.
Iriondo's family was awarded nearly $50,000 after Delgado's insurance company admitted he had been driving too fast.
A ruling on Delgado's claim is expected Wednesday
