Wayne Trucking Company

Plainfield, WI: (Sep-08-07) The Senft family filed a wrongful death civil lawsuit against Wayne Trucking Company, after their son, David Senft Jr., a 14-year-old Bancroft boy was killed in a 2006 school bus crash on Highway 73 near Plainfield. Wayne Trucking Company was the owner of the semi tractor trailer truck driven by Barry T. Jacobson that slammed into the parked school bus. The families of the 11 other children injured in the crash, also filed a civil suit against Wayne Trucking Company, alleging that the trucking company was liable for the crash. Jacobson was charged with one count of homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle and six counts of reckless driving causing bodily harm in Adams County in August 2007.

In a settlement reached, Wayne Trucking conceded liability in the crash, agreeing to pay $248,000 to the Senft family. The total payout for all the plaintiffs is said to be close to $2.4 million. [STEVENS POINT JOURNAL: TRUCK AND BUS ACCIDENT]
