ST. LOUIS – A St. Louis County resident is seeking damages over injuries he allegedly sustained in an auto accident involving a semi truck on Interstate 55.
Edward Riefle filed a complaint on Dec. 18 in the St. Louis 22nd Judicial Circuit Court against Marten Transport LTD, Allen Hensley and Albert Charles Keener alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Dec. 27, 2012, he was a passenger in a motor vehicle driven by Keener when they were involved in a collision with defendants Marten and Hensley's semi truck on I-55 approaching the overpass with South Seventh Street in St. Louis. He alleges he sustained serious injuries that resulted in medical expenses, pain and suffering and other economic and non-economic damages.
