According to court documents, Boeheim and the survivors of Jorge Jimenez have agreed to settle and have requested that terms of the settlement remain sealed. Jimenez was a passenger in a car that that skidded on Interstate 690 and hit a guardrail. Boeheim was driving home after a game when he swerved to avoid the car and hit Jimenez.
