Former Syracuse men's basketball head coach Jim Boeheim and Syracuse University have settled a lawsuit with the family of Jorge Jimenez, according to Karen Matthews of the Associated Press.

Jimenez, 51 at the time of his death, died Feb. 20, 2019, following a car crash involving Boeheim. Jimenez had been the passenger in a vehicle that skidded on an icy highway and hit a guardrail. Boeheim had attempted to avoid hitting the vehicle but struck Jimenez, who later died at the hospital.

Boeheim was not charged with any crimes or found to be driving recklessly in the ensuing police report.
