Families Partially Settle in Bonfire Accident
From Times Wire Reports
Families of seven students killed or injured when a stack of bonfire logs collapsed at Texas A&M; have reached a $4.25-million partial settlement of a lawsuit, attorneys in Houston said.
The settlement resolves claims against 25 of 35 student leaders who oversaw construction of the 59-foot-high stack, which fell five years ago, killing 12 and injuring 27.
The lawsuit is scheduled for trial next year against three dozen other defendants.
