SD Supreme Court Rules No Insurance Coverage In Crash

Posted on Apr 18, 2013

On Thursday, the South Dakota Supreme Court ruled that an insurance company does not have to cover a Rapid City woman for a crash because her policy expired 12 hours before she hit four boys on their bicycles.

Tamara Bradford pleaded guilty to two counts of vehicular battery for the September 2007 crash and was sentenced to eight years in prison.  Authorities said her blood-alcohol level was three times the legal limit for driving when she hit and injured the boys, who were riding their bicycles or standing along the road.
