Chloe's parents were awarded $7.5 million. Amber Allen Baker was the mother of Korren Radke. Her father received $1.46 million. The woman who was in the third car involved in the accident received $75,000.

A Menlo College professor was killed in a head on accident in Atherton, California on December 1st. 

44-year-old Laura Marschall was in the passenger seat of a 1994 Subaru being driven by her 16-year-old daughter Sarah when a 2006 Honda swerved into the east bound lane and struck the Subaru head on. Laura, Sarah and the driver of the Honda were taken to the Stanford University Medical Center where Laura was declared dead. Sarah suffered serious ankle injuries and is undergoing treatment at the hospital.

Redwood California Highway Patrol officials are investigating the cause of the accident.

At Menlo College in Atherton, shocked associates and students recalled Marschall, an associate professor of biological sciences, who taught biology and genetics. She was an outstanding researcher, colleagues said, who had just completed her first semester at Menlo College but had managed to make an impression on students.

Dr. Marschall grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and graduated from University of California, Santa Barbara. She had previously been a faculty member at California State University and had served as a post-doctoral fellow at Stanford University.
