UPDATE: Attorney: Settlement Reached in Parasailing Crash Lawsuit

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ An attorney for one of two Indiana teenagers who were seriously injured in a Florida parasailing crash says a settlement has been reached in a lawsuit.

 

The parents of one girl _ Alexis Fairchild _ were suing parasail operator Aquatic Adventures Management Group, its owner and Treasure Island Resort Rentals. Wes Pittman _ an attorney for the other girl, Sidney Good _ tells WXIN-TV financial settlements in this case will go a long way toward making their lives much easier.''

 

More information was expected to be released Tuesday during a news conference in Florida.

 

The Huntington, Indiana, teenagers were seriously injured in July 2013 in Panama City when the rope tethering their parasail to a boat snapped, causing them to crash into a building, a power line and vehicles.
