Jesse Robinson III filed a complaint on March 27 in the St. Louis Circuit Court against Larry Metz and J.B. Hunt Logistics Inc. alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Aug. 17, 2016, he was a passenger in a Bi-State Gillig Bus when the vehicle driven by defendant Metz suddenly collided with rear of the bus. The suit states Metz was an employee of J.B. Hunt at the time of the collision.
