ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The owners of Coach Canada and two Pennsylvania trucking firms are paying $36 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2005 highway collision in western New York that killed four people and injured 19, the AP reports.
The bus was carrying a Canadian youth hockey team from Windsor, Ontario, when it swerved off Interstate 390 about 30 miles south of Rochester and slammed into the truck parked on the side of the highway on Jan. 29, 2005. The settlement heads off a string of trials that were set to begin this month. For the full story, click here.
