Family Receives a Settlement After the Death of Eleven Year Old Boy in Bus Wreck
As reported in the press today, the family of a young boy who was lost in a church bus wreck earlier this year has reached a settlement with the insurance companies who represent the driver of the bus. Young Austin Green passed away from injuries he received in the January 23, 2008 crash. The bus driver was cited for driving too fast for conditions after running off of Highway 178 not far from Liberty, South Carolina. The bus then tumbled down an embankment, before crashing into a tree. Austin's parents will receive $450,000.00 as part of the settlement. Our hearts go out to this young family.
