TWENTYNINE PALMS — A jury has awarded $15 million to the family of a 17-year-old Twentynine Palms boy who was severely injured in a 2005 traffic collision in Joshua Tree.

According to Spencer Lucas, attorney for the family, Kyle Tilton, who was 14 at the time of the accident, will require care for the rest of his life, and the award will adequately provide for his future medical needs.

“The family is very pleased,” he said. “They are relieved that now they can rest assured that Kyle will have the funds to be able to have the proper medical treatment that he so desperately needs.”

The boy was injured Nov. 2, 2005, when a Southern California Gas truck ran a red light at Twentynine Palms Highway and White Feather Road and struck the Tilton vehicle on the passenger side where Kyle was sitting.
