National Grange Mutual Insurance Co. must pay up to $500,000 in coverage for a 22-year-old who was sued as a teenager for killing his friend in a car crash while driving drunk in 2003.

A Northhampton County, Pa., judge made the ruling that the insurer must cover Daniel Scheetz, now 22, who was sued by the parents of the late Sean Cameron, according to the Allentown Morning Call.

On July 2, 2003, Scheetz crashed the car into a tree in Lower Mount Bethel Township, killing Cameron. Scheetz served two years in a juvenile detention center after admitting he had been drinking, according to the report.

National Grange Mutual Insurance argued that it should not have to provide coverage as the policy for the car was in the names of parents of a girl who was not a passenger at the time of the accident.

The judge ruled that Scheetz believed the girl had given him permission to drive, the Morning Call reported.
