The family of the 61-year-old woman who died in the 2015 L’Enfant Plaza smoke incident has settled their lawsuit against Metro for an unknown sum.

Metro confirmed the settlement on Thursday, which was first reported by The Washington Post.

Carol Glover, a Virginia commuter and government contractor, died of smoke exposure after an “electrical arcing incident” filled a number of train cars with smoke near L’Enfant Plaza Station on January 12, 2015. Passengers in those cars were not evacuated for about 40 minutes, resulting in Glover’s death and critical injuries for at least two other passengers. Dozens more people were transported to the hospital for treatment.

Passengers and their families filed more than 60 lawsuits against WMATA in the wake of the incident. In May and June of last year, a slew of suits was dismissed with the consent of the victims, leading to speculation of settlements, though Metro and the families’ lawyers stayed mum.

In their lawsuit, Glover’s family had asked for $50 million from WMATA. “As a direct and proximate result of Defendant WMATA’s negligence, Ms. Glover was trapped, helpless, in Train 302 for nearly forty-five minutes as it filled with smoke,” the lawsuit reads. “During this time she fought, ever more agonizingly, to breathe as the smoke gradually sapped the life from her body.”

The amount of the family’s settlement with Metro is unknown.

In the wake of Glover’s death, an investigation found that Metro had an inadequate “safety culture.” The transit agency then embarked on a year-long maintenance and repair program and announced a series of safety changes meant to prevent such an accident from happening again.
