FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) - A southwest Florida man who struck and killed a teenager walking to his school bus stop last spring has received a $1,000 fine and a six-month license suspension.

The News-Press (http://goo.gl/Qgzpui) reports that 23-year-old Zackery Treinen was sentenced Thursday after pleading no contest to failure to stop for a school bus.

The Florida Highway Patrol says 16-year-old Cameron Mayhew's bus was stopped with an extended stop sign deployed in June as he crossed the street. The Fort Myers High School sophomore was rushed to a local hospital after being hit by Treinen's car and died the next day.
