Emma Zhou, a Chinese-American woman who was paralyzed from the waist down when she was struck by a 100-pound tree limb in San Francisco’s Washington Square Park in 2016, has reached a tentative $14.5 million settlement with the city, according to San Francisco Chronicle.

A person with knowledge of the discussions confirmed that the commission approved the $14.5 million settlement proposal, which means Zhou would drop the lawsuit she filed in November 2016, three months after the incident.

The limb that struck Zhou was shed by a 50-foot pine tree maintained by the Recreation and Park Department. It was located by a small children’s playground in the northwest corner of the park.
