Metro reaches settlement with family of Carol Glover, who died in 2015 L’Enfant Plaza smoke incident
Metro has reached an out-of-court settlement with the family of Carol Glover, the 61-year-old woman who died in January 2015 after smoke filled a tunnel near the L’Enfant Plaza station.
According to recent court documents, U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan granted a request by Glover’s two adult sons to dismiss the lawsuit they filed against Metro more than three years ago. On Thursday, Metro spokesman Dan Stessel confirmed that the case was dismissed because Glover’s family agreed to a settlement offered by the transit agency.
The terms of that settlement and the amount of money offered to the family by Metro are sealed from the public as part of the final legal agreement struck between the agency and family. In their original court filing in January 2015, Glover’s sons had sought $50 million in damages from Metro.

Court documents posted this week show that of the more than 100 cases filed against Metro by victims, only 18 are still active. The rest have been dismissed by a judge — almost all of them by plaintiffs’ requests, which suggests that those, too, have been settled.
