The estate of Jorge Jimenez, the man Syracuse University head basketball coach Jim Boeheim struck and killed while driving on Interstate 690 in February 2019, is suing Boeheim and SU.

The lawsuit, filed Monday in Onondaga County Supreme Court, alleges that Boeheim was negligent, driving an SU-owned vehicle at a high rate of speed leading up to the crash. The estate is suing for an unspecified amount of monetary compensation.
