Detroit wins appeal over injuries in bus crash

DETROIT (AP) — The Michigan Court of Appeals has thrown out a lawsuit in a Detroit bus crash that resulted in the death of the driver.

A passenger on the city bus, Jojuan Dyson, sued Detroit over his injuries in the 2014 crash.

A Wayne County judge said a jury should determine the facts. But the appeals court recently ruled in favor of the city,  saying driver Greg Cotton apparently suffered a medical emergency and wasn’t negligent.

The bus crossed into oncoming traffic lanes, crashed through a construction barricade and swiped a building.

The appeals court says there’s no evidence to suggest Cotton knew he was ill but continued to drive that day.
