Devan Sipher, 54, was in the crosswalk on Sixth Avenue at West Fourth Street on July 3, 2015, when he was mowed down by a Grey Line tour bus
A New York Times columnist was awarded $85million on late Tuesday after he was ran over by a double-decker sightseeing bus and dragged down the street in Manhattan in 2015.
Devan Sipher, 54, was on the crosswalk on Sixth Avenue at West Fourth Street on July 3 when he was mowed down by a Grey Line tour bus.
The 'Vow' column writer, who describes himself as a 'a single guy writing about weddings,' was walking with the light at the time of the incident.
Sipher's left leg was dragged by the front tires of the bus for a few feet.
Over the course of three years, the former six-minute mile runner had 11 surgeries to work with his fractured shoulders and legs.
Lawyer, Howard Hershenhorn, told the New York Post that his client will walk with a brace on his left leg and be in constant pain for the rest of his life.

The six week trial concluded after just three hours of deliberation, with the four women and two men jury ruling in Sipher's favor
'Despite Vision Zero, there are still way too many of these accidents,' Hershenhorn said. The lawyer was referring to the safe street initiative by Bill de Blasio.
The lawyer added: 'There needs to be more enforcement of the right-of-way laws so that when accidents like this happen, drivers are punished.'
Calvin Wright, the bus driver, was fired from the company but spared prosecution by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.
Hershenhorn said that immediately after the trial, Sipher settled with the bus company. The amount he settled with was lower than what he was awarded in court.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
