$3.9 million awarded in Greg Allman biopic filming death

The family of a film crew member that died when a freight train plowed into a make-shift movie set on a railroad bridge in Georgia where a scene in a Gregg Allman biopic was being shot in 2014 (story) has been awarded $3.9 million dollars.  The accident and legal wrangling that resulted from it derailed the biopic that had actor William Hurt cast to play Gregg.  The parents of the crew member maintained that the railroad bore some legal responsibility for their daughter's death even though the film crew had not secured all of the authorizations needed to be filming on the bridge when the accident happened.
