Horry County Schools secured a settlement recently 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 did not observe required safety rules.

Both parties consented to the deal, but the terms remained private.

The accident occurred on a county school bus locally.

The family lodged the case after the injury.

No further details were released.
