A school bus company has agreed to pay $5 million to the family of a child with disabilities who died after a school bus attendant allegedly failed to notice the girl was suffocating.

Fajr Williams, 6, was being transported on a bus operated by Montauk Transit of Hillsborough to a summer school program on July 17, 2023, when a strap on her wheelchair allegedly caused her to suffocate. On entering the vehicle, the child's wheelchair was secured in the rear by bus monitor Amanda Davila. During the half-hour ride, a series of bumps caused the child to slump in her wheelchair, making the 4-point harness that held her in place to become tight around her neck, according to an investigative report by the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office.
