Opioid companies reach tentative settlement just before landmark trial

Hours before a landmark opioid trial was set to start in an Ohio courthouse, major drug distributors and a manufacturer agreed to a tentative settlement, according to lawyers representing the thousands of communities involved in the case.

The terms of the settlement were not immediately released. The preliminary settlement will resolve a majority of the cases brought against the four drug industry giants. The attorneys, who represent Cuyahoga and Summit Counties, added that the communities have"tirelessly investigated, litigated, and prepared for the bellwether trial that would have begun today if not for this agreement. In doing so, the communities revealed facts about the roles of the opioid industry that created and fueled the opioid epidemic."

Cardinal Health, McKesson and Amerisource Bergen and Teva did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment Monday morning.
