DETROIT — A man who slammed into the back of a fire truck then sued Frenchtown Township and a firefighter who helped save his life has settled out of court.

Under terms of the settlement, some money will be paid out by the insurance company for the township, but the man who rear-ended the fire truck isn't getting a dime. His children will get some money and lawyers will be paid, but it's not anywhere near the big pay day Nick Otter was looking for.
