CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - The New Hampshire Motor Speedway has reached a settlement with the family of a Vermont man who was injured at the track after he fell off a golf cart.
Roderick Jenks of Wilder, Vt., was thrown from the back of the cart driven by a track employee at the speedway in 2006. His attorneys say Jenkins slammed his head on the pavement and he required brain surgery and months of hospitalization. His wife sued the speedway and Textron Inc., the golf cart maker, in federal court in 2009.
The Concord Monitor reports the family's attorney cited a confidentiality agreement that prevents him from commenting on the settlement. Speedway General Manager Jerry Gappens also declined to comment.
A trial against Textron is scheduled next month. A spokesman declined to comment.
