According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on July 11, the defendant carelessly drove her vehicle into plaintiff's lane in St. Louis, causing him to lose control of his motorcycle to avoid her and strike the pavement. He alleges he suffered severe and serious injuries to his neck, back, knee, leg, face and shoulder as a result of the accident.
