Horry County Schools reached a settlement after months of talks in a lawsuit filed by the family of an eight‑year‑old girl.

The child’s arm was pinched in a school bus door some time ago.

The lawsuit asserted that the driver did not observe required safety rules.

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

The accident occurred on a county school bus in the area.

The family filed the case subsequent to the accident.

No further details were shared.
