MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A Wisconsin inmate who survived the 2007 Minnesota bridge collapse will receive $19,000 from a victims' fund, but he won't be allowed to keep it.
Twenty-seven-year-old Michael E. Stoner of Spooner, Wis. is serving 7 1/2 years in prison for injuring his fiancee's daughter.
He and his fiancee were driving to see the 2-year-old in the hospital when the Interstate 35W bridge collapsed, killing 13.
The terms of Stoner's sentence require him to turn over any money from the bridge fund to the state for fines and restitution.
The girl's mother will receive $488,000 from the fund. She wasn't charged in her daughter's injuries.
Settlements from the state's $36.6 million compensation fund covered 179 people, from survivors to relatives of those killed.
