Godfrey accident blamed on minivan driver

A woman says she was rear-ended by another driver while driving in Godfrey.

Sara Lee filed a lawsuit against Sue Ellen Brosie Nov. 20 in Madison County Circuit Court.

Lee says she was driving her Mercury Mountaineer south on West Delmar Highway in December 2011. Brosie was directly behind Lee driving a Chrysler minivan, according to the complaint. At the intersection of High Meadow Drive Lee says Brosie failed to stop and crashed into the back of the Mountaineer.

Lee accuses Brosie of negligence and asks for more than $50,000 in damages for medical bills, loss of income and court fees. Attorney Laef N. Lorton of Jerseyville represents Lee. They request a jury trial.
