SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio City Council this month agreed to pay a man more than $200,000 after his vehicle was rear-ended in 2018 by a large truck driven by a Solid Waste Management Department employee. John Brubeck, who according to a 2019 lawsuit suffered “severe injuries” to his neck and lower back during the September 2018 wreck, will be paid $206,000 to settle the case. The settlement will be paid out of the city’s self-insurance liability fund, according to a council agenda announcing the agreement. In naming the city as a co-defendant in the case, attorneys for Brubeck wrote that the city should have known Garcia was reckless, incompetent and unfit to drive. City officials declined to comment on the settlement but did confirm Garcia remains employed by SWMD and currently works as a mechanic.
