Soft drink firm agrees to pay millions in accident settlement McALLEN (AP) — A newspaper reported Tuesday that a soft drink company has agreed to pay $67.5 mil lion to settle claims in the deaths of 15 students who died in the state’s worst school bus accident. The agreement, according to the McAllen Monitor, involves Valley Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Inc. paying a structured settlement of $4.5 million to victims’ families for each death. A structured settlement would guarantee families monthly payments of thousands of dollars for the rest of their lives. One lawyer the Monitor did not identify was quoted as saying, “We have an agreement in principle. It’s just a matter of taking this before a court for approval and I don’t see a problem with that.” McAllen lawyer Morris Atlas, who was brought in to assist the negotiations, declined to comment on reports of a settlement, the newspaper reported Tuesday. Atlas did not return phone calls Tuesday to the Associated Press. “There’s not anything I can talk about relating to any negotiations,” Ramon Garcia, an Edinburg attorney who represents the families of three students who died and several of the injured, told the AP. “We have been negotiating for some time now,"Gar cia said. Lawyer David Hockema, whose McAllen-based firm, Flores, Munoz, Hockema 8c Reed, represents several victims’ families, told the Monitor he could not discuss ongoing negotiations. I he accident occurred Sept. 21, 1989, in the South Texas town of Alton. Twenty-one students died and an other 60 were injured when a truck owned by Valley Coca-Cola knocked the school bus into a water-filled pit. Two months ago, the soft drink company agreed to pay $1.5 million in a structured settlement with a family of one of the dead students. It is the only wrongful death settlement finalized in the case to date. Of the 60 students injured, only three cases have been settled, each for $250,000. San Antonio attorney Ruben Sandoval, who rep resents one family that lost a child in the wreck, told the AP he knew' of some negotiations, but that his client had not agreed to any settlement. “We’re going to talk to our client and its up to her,” Sandoval said. Body of storm victim found in Dallas creek Employees face lie detector for jail break SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Em ployees of a private jail faced FBI lie detector tests Tuesday in con nection with the escape of three inmates, including a suspected drug kingpin. The three prison cellmates — Mario Alberto Salinas Trevino, Charlie Edward Compton and Juan Chapa Garza — left the Central Texas Parole Violators Facility late Sunday after pulling a gun on an unarmed guard, offi cials said. Salinas was among 25 people arrested last year in “Operation Jet Set,” a series of raids by fed eral authorities in California and Texas. Salinas, 37, is the sus pected leader of one of the larg est drug-smuggling and money laundering rings between Texas and Mexico, authorities said. Officials believe Salinas headed to Mexico, 150 miles away, be cause he may have access to mil lions of dollars there. “That’s a logical escape route,” U.S. Marshal Bill Jonas said. “If that’s the case, I think he’s acting ill-advisedly. I have every reason to believe the Mexican govern ment will cooperate with us.” Customs agents on both sides of the border were alerted to the escape, and photographs of the three inmates were circulated among area police departments and news organizations. Compton, who has strong ties in San Antonio, was awaiting trial on charges of possession of co caine with intent to distribute, Jonas said. Chapa was charged with pos session of marijuana with intent to distribute. The fugitives’ cases were not connected, Jonas said. However, he added, “I would think that the three of them would stay together for awhile.” DALLAS (AP) — The body of a Garland man who may have been a casualty of this weekend’s violent storms was pulled from a North Dal las creek Tuesday afternoon, au thorities said. Dallas Police Sgt. Jim Chandler said authorities were using a crane to remove a car containing the man’s body from Floyd Branch, which feeds into White Rock Creek. Chandler identified the dead man as So Kim, 46, of Garland. Kim apparently tried to drive his car through high water resulting from Sunday’s heavy rains and was swept into the creek. Chandler said. “The vehicle was swept into the creek and traveled down until it hit a concrete abutment at LBJ (Free way),” Chandler said. The 1980 Honda was “heavily damaged,” he Railroad (Continued from page 1) Ragland said. “The benefits will be such that if you look at what the city is getting overall — if you look at the total length of the project and what College Station will get from it — it’s going to be a good deal. “I think that’s going to be the question in everybody’s mind that’s going to have to be resolved: ‘What are we getting for the amount of money that we’re spending?’ ” College Station Councilman Jim Gardner said he hopes the project will make possible the construction of an Amtrak building along the rail road at the intersection of Wellborn Road and Old Main Drive. He said the current plan will in convenience people and impede the flow of traffic because it provides’for a street along each side of the tracks south of the A&M campus. “That’s a tough thing, to make a said. The car was spotted earlier Tues day by a railroad company em ployee, he said. Due to the creek's depth, Chandler said a crane was necessary to remove the car. Chandler said Kim was last seen alive Sunday afternoon, when Gar land police answered a disturbance call at his apartment. “I’m also told the last time he was seen alive was Sunday afternoon that Garland police apparently answered a call at his apartment, some type of disturbance call,” Chandler said. But Garland Police spokesman Al len Peck said he had no report of Garland police answering a call at Kim’s address. Peck said the report could have been filed under another person’s name or that a report was not filed. crossing ot a ranroaa — tirst cross a street, then cross a railroad and then cross the other street,” Gardner said. The LOTRAK project addresses an issue that has been a concern of local officials for more than a dozen years. In 1975, A&M President Jack Wil liams said the train tracks could cause problems for A&M in the fu ture. “If we go across Wellborn Road in some strength, we’ll have the rail road in the center, and it will be both a noisemaker and a general confu sion-causer,” Williams said. With increasing construction on the west side of campus during the 15 years since then — and no sign that construction will be slowing down — it appears that Williams might have been right. Zeigler said it could be several years before construction begins According to one estimate, it might take four years to complete the pro ject.
