Lawsuit In Maine Accident Ends In Settlement

Airplane With Several Fraternity Brothers Aboard Struck A Truck Crossing A Runway

A settlement totaling nearly $4 million has been reached in a lawsuit stemming from an accident in Owls Head, ME last November in which an airplane departing from Knox County Regional Airport (KRKD) struck a privately-owned pickup truck crossing a runway.

The accident fatally injured two University of Maine students and an alumnus that were all members of the same fraternity.

The truck was authorized to operate on the airport grounds, and had issued the proper warnings to local traffic before crossing the runway at the uncontrolled field.

Television station WMTW reports that the insurance companies for the truck driver, his employer, and Hannigans' Flying Club shared in paying most of the settlement.
