School Bus Company To Pay $6 Million

A woman who suffered severe injuries when hit by a school bus accepted $6 million on Feb. 21 to settle her Bergen County suit, Poplawski v. Phipps.

Sarah Poplawski was in a crosswalk on Nedellec Drive in Saddle Brook on Feb. 2, 2009, when the bus hit her and dragged her for 50 feet. The bus driver, Judy Phipps, gave police a videotaped, sworn statement that Poplawski ran in front of the bus. But during her deposition, Phipps conceded her initial statement was false and said she did not notice Poplawski before hitting her.
