You might not believe it at a first look, but I can assure you it’s true. A Spanish driver who collided with a cyclist is suing the dead youth’s family $29,300 for the damage the impact of his body did to his luxury car, according to a Spanish newspaper. Businessman Tomas Delgado says 17-year-old Enaitz Iriondo caused $20,500 of damage to his Audi A8 in the fatal 2004 crash in La Rioja region, said El Pais. The businessman faced no criminal charges wants a further 6,000 euros to cover the cost of hiring another vehicle while his car was being repaired, El Pais said. The cyclist didn’t have any reflective clothing or a helmet. His family won 30,000 euros compensation from Delgado’s insurance company after it was admitted he was driving at an excessive speed. “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 newspaper, ahead of a January 30 legal decision on his suit. “This was the final straw, a kick in the teeth,” the youth’s mother Rosa Trinidad told El Pais.
