HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit filed by eight people injured in an escalator accident at Giants Stadium four years ago.

The December 2007 accident injured several people seriously, including one person who lost part of a leg.

The settlement was reached Monday, halfway through the first day of a trial in state Superior Court in Bergen County.

The plaintiffs had sued Schindler, the company that made and maintained the escalator, and the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which operated Giants Stadium.

The accident occurred after the New York Giants-New England Patriots game on Dec. 29, 2007.
