ST. LOUIS — A motorist is suing another driver alleging negligence.
Mahdi Issa filed a complaint on Jan. 11, in the St. Louis Circuit Court against Jeffrey Darnell Santee alleging that he breached his duty to operate a motor vehicle in a careful and prudent manner.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Feb. 1, 2016 he was driving a motor vehicle traveling on Skinker Parkway near its intersection with Page Boulevard in St. Louis when the defendant carelessly entered the intersection against his traffic signal and collided with the plaintiff's vehicle. Issa alleges he was thrown against the interior of his vehicle, sustaining serious and permanent injuries both internally and externally, and as a result incurred medical expenses in excess of $5,000.
The plaintiff holds Santee responsible because he allegedly failed to obey the red light traffic signal, failed to maintain careful lookout and failed to yield the right of way.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury; and seeks damages of more than $25,000, plus costs of this action, and any further relief as the court may deem just and fair. He is represented by Thomas Traube of Sorrell & Traube in St. Louis.
