    　　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.

    　　③Teens react to new law on driving permit
