ELGIN, Ill. (WLS) — The victims of a deadly limousine rollover crash in 2016 have won a $104 million verdict against the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority.

The crash happened March 25, 2016 on Interstate 90 in Elgin. Friday’s decision followed legal battle that lasted over nine years.

Lawyers shared video of the challenges Rob Rosa and his husband Michael Johnson have dealt with since the crash.

The limo was carrying six people from Wisconsin en route to O’Hare International Airport to depart for a Mexican vacation when it flipped over, killing a 53-year-old woman, officials said.

Five passengers, along with the 20-year-old limo driver, were injured.

Four male passengers and two female passengers, ranging in age from 45-64, were in the white Lincoln Town Car.

The driver told Illinois State Police he lost control when he was blinded by the sun just before 7:15 a.m. March 25, 2016. He said he couldn’t see the traffic pattern in front of him. He crashed into a concrete divider, which caused the limo to flip over onto its roof.

“That stretch of I-90 is going directly eastbound. At that point in the morning the sun is just coming up on the horizon so it’s just about the right height,” Dave Schmidt, assistant chief of the Elgin Fire Department, said at the time.

When crews arrived, five people had already removed themselves from the vehicle. The crash shut down several lanes of eastbound I-90.

“We are evaluating the verdict and do not have further comment at this time,” the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority said in response to Friday’s verdict.
