Jurors award $28.6M to woman paralyzed in crash with Ely school bus

Jurors in northern Minnesota have awarded $28.6 million to a young woman who was paralyzed more than seven years ago when an Ely School District bus crashed into the car in which she was a passenger, her attorney announced Thursday.

Paige Anderson, of Marble, Minn., was 16 years old when the crash occurred Oct. 9, 2009, at the intersection of Curley Avenue and Hwy. 169 in Coleraine. Anderson, now 23, has been a quadriplegic since the collision. Another passenger, Emmy Foss of Bovey, Minn., died in the crash.
