Car accident 42

ST. LOUIS — A vehicle passenger is suing a motorist for allegedly causing a roadway collision that resulted in injuries.

Sterling McKinney filed a complaint on Oct. 18 in the St. Louis 22nd Judicial Circuit Court against John Webb, a St. Louis resident, for alleged violation of road safety rules.

According to the complaint, McKinney alleges that on May 14, 2017, he was a passenger in a vehicle traveling northbound on 39th Street when the defendant's car struck the vehicle, causing a collision. 

As a result, McKinney claims he suffered physical injuries that aggravated a pre-existing arthritic condition and incurred medical expenses. 

The plaintiff holds Webb responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to keep a careful lookout ahead and laterally, failed to give or sound a warning of his approach and failed to yield the right-of-way.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment in excess of $25,000, together with costs expended. He is represented by Allan R. Belliveau of the Koester Law Firm in Clayton, Mo.

St. Louis 22nd Judicial Circuit Court Case number 1722-CC11553
