MORENO VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Ford Motor Co. has agreed to pay $1.35 million to a man paralyzed when his Bronco II sport-utility vehicle rolled over, a lawyer said.

Donald Taylor claimed Ford knew even as it was developing the Bronco II that the vehicle was prone to flip, but did nothing to correct the problem.

Taylor, 39, was left a quadriplegic after his Oct. 29, 1990, accident.

Ford spokeswoman Judith Muhlberg said the Bronco II was safe.

Muhlberg would not comment on the settlement, which was reached Feb. 24, but only announced Friday by Taylor’s lawyer, Eugene Comroe.

Ford stopped making Broncos in 1989. More than 200 other cases have been filed against Ford over the vehicle.

In March, Ford agreed to pay $650,000 to the widow of a Yankton, S.D., man who died after his Bronco rolled over in 1988.

Last year, the car maker agreed to pay former jockey Bill Shoemaker at least $1 million to settle his claim from a 1991 wreck in a Bronco that left him paralyzed.
