  ①Brain-injured boy set for £ 1.75m payout

  A YOUNGSTER who was knocked off his bicycle by a taxi and left with a serious brain injury is set to be awarded £ 1.75 million.

  Fourteen-year-old George Currie, from Dalkeith, was living in country Durham with his parents Allister and Paula at the time of the accident in September 1993.

  George, who was then three years old, was riding his small tricycle along the pavement when he lost control and swerved on to the road into the path of an on-coming taxi.

  The driver's insurance company has now ac cepted responsibility for the accident and New Castle County Court is expected to rule on the payout on Monday.

  ②Boating accidents reduce

  Lee and Collier counties tied at No. 10 for boating accidents in Florida in 2004, an improvement for both.

  But because the counties remained in the top 10 among Florida's 67 counties, safety continues to be a concern, officials said.

  ③Teens react to new law on driving permit

  Lawmakers may hope to make teenage drivers drive more safely, but some local teens behind the wheel feel angry following the passing of Senace Bill 36 last week.

  SB 36 is a law that limits times new teen drivers can drive and the number of passengers

  ④Road accidents take costly toll

  Traffic accidents kill more than one million people each year, injure tens of millions more and cost developing countries twice as much as they receive in international aid, the leader of a research body said Wednesday.

  The figures have led experts to form an international road safety network to choose the most important research areas, inform policy makers and help develop ways to prevent accidents, particularly in poor nations.
