WAUTOMA, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A settlement is likely in a civil wrongful death lawsuit filed after a 6-year-old girl was killed at a bus stop, court records show.
Maryana Kranz, 6, was killed outside her Plainfield home Feb. 10, 2020, while waiting for the bus. A pickup truck, driven by Carl Mullenix, drove on the right side of the bus, hitting Maryana and her sister. Due to Mullenix’s mental condition, the criminal charges were dropped in the case.
Separate from the criminal case, a civil wrongful death lawsuit was filed by the girl’s family.
During a status conference Tuesday, the attorney for Mullenix’s insurance company said a settlement was likely. Another hearing was set for Sept. 23 to finalize the details.
No trial date has been scheduled.
