HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) ―
A Fairplay woman has been fined $140 for negligent driving in a collision with a bicyclist that cost an 8-year-old boy his leg.
The (Hagerstown) Herald-Mail reported Thursday Meghann Weaver, 21, paid the fine in December as part of a plea bargain.
Prosecutors dropped charges of reckless driving and speeding.
Deputy State's Attorney Steve Kessell says there was no evidence that Weaver had used drugs or alcohol, which ruled out reckless driving in the Aug. 27 crash.
Victim David Greeley's left leg was amputated at mid-shin. He also suffered a skull fracture, a broken jaw, a broken left arm and a fractured right leg
