A delivery driver has won 50 million dollars (£38.6 million) in a lawsuit after being seriously burned when a Starbucks drink spilled in his lap at a California drive-through, court records show.

On Friday, a Los Angeles County jury found in favour of Michael Garcia, who underwent skin grafts and other procedures on his genitals after a venti-sized tea drink spilled instants after he collected it on February 8 2020.
