Oil companies reach $345 million settlement with Quebec train crash victims
Victoria Young; 11 June 2015
A group of oil companies has come to an agreement with victims of the 2013 oil train derailment in Quebec, Canada.
The train had been carrying 7.7 million litres of crude oil when it crashed, resulting in a massive spill and an explosion that killed 47 people.
Royal Dutch Shell, Marathon Oil Corp, Conoco Phillips and Irving Oil were all named by The Wall Street Journal as contributing. It is not clear how much each company will contribute.
It has been reported the settlement was reached in bankruptcy court to avoid costly and lengthy court processes.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
