Families of slain GSU nursing students speak
Only one wrongful death lawsuit still unresolved
W 042116 NURSING CRASH SETTLEMENT 03
Georgia Southern nursing students are emotional as attorney Bob Cheeley and the families of four of the Georgia Southern University nursing students who died in last year's crash remember the students and announce a settlement in a wrongful death lawsuit with the trucking company whose driver caused the accident.
Over $84 million has been awarded to the families of four of five Georgia Southern University students killed in a fiery, seven-car pileup on Interstate 16 in Bryan County April 22, 2015. The fifth family has not yet reached a settlement in their case. Family members of three of the victims were at the university Thursday morning, where an attorney shared details of the crash as well as information about wrongful death suit settlements.
