The family of a nine-year-old boy killed
after he exited a school bus has filed a civil lawsuit against the
woman police say was driving the vehicle that struck him.
Prosecutors have charged 24-year-old Tiffany Nix of Benton with
manslaughter in the September 28th accident. The charge was
upgraded from negligent homicide after blood tests allegedly showed
Nix had opiates and amphetamines in her system at the time of the
crash.
William Kelly Brian, the father of the young victim, William
"Isaac" Brian, filed a lawsuit against Nix that seeks monetary
damages. The suit seeks both compensatory and punitive damages but
does not name a dollar amount.
