Megabus Agrees To $5 Million Settlement After Fatal Accident

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Megabus has reportedly agreed to pay more than $5 million to settle a lawsuit stemming from another deadly accident in Chicago.

Attorneys say a Megabus hit and dragged 64-year-old Wes Krueger as he tried to cross the street near Union Station back in 2010.

Krueger eventually died from those injuries.

In the past week, there have been three incidents involving Megabus, two of them fatal.
