A California county will pay $800,000 to the father of a bicyclist who was killed when a deputy fell asleep while driving his patrol car.

Santa Clara County officials announced the settlement payment Thursday to Ripp Gough, father of Kristy Gough.

Thirty-year-old Kristy Gough was killed when the patrol car hit her and two other cyclists in Cupertino in March 2008.

The settlement with Gough's father comes after a $1.2 million settlement with her mother, Karen Clarkson.

Also killed in the incident was 29-year-old Matt Peterson. The county settled with his parents for $2.3 million.

Another suit filed by a third cyclist who was injured is pending.

The deputy driving the patrol car was sentenced to four months in jail after pleading guilty to two counts of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter.
