A lawsuit over the death of a Lafayette High School student hit by a school bus has been settled out of court for five million dollars.

Bridgett Blasi filed the lawsuit against the driver and the bus company First Student for the death of her son Mason Adams.

The driver, Tracey Jones, says she didn’t see Adams crossing the street. She spent 15 days of shock time in jail after pleading guilty in January, 2011 to charges of careless and imprudent driving.

Adams was killed when he was hit by Jones’ bus in a crosswalk on St Joseph Avenue.

The settlement agreement also includes funding for a bus driver’s training course, a scholarship and baseball field in memory of the teenager.

Jury selection got underway in the trial Monday, but the settlement interupted that.
