Horry County Schools finalized a settlement earlier in a lawsuit filed by the family of an eight‑year‑old girl.

The child’s arm was trapped in a school bus door several years ago.

The lawsuit alleged that the driver neglected required safety rules.

Both parties agreed to the deal, but the terms were kept confidential.

The accident happened on a county school bus regionally.

The family initiated the case subsequent to the accident.

No further details were made public.
