ALFRED (AP) — A Romanian student who was run over by a school bus while riding a bicycle has been awarded $750,000 by a jury.
Monica Semian’s pelvis was crushed by the rear wheels of the bus after she was knocked off her bike in Ogunquit in September 2010, when she was living with a group of other Romanian students in Wells.
She sued the driver and the company, Ledgemere Transportation, which does contract work for the Wells- Ogunquit Community School District.
