Madison County Transit passenger sues over rear-end collision

A Madison County woman is suing over claims she was injured in a collision when she was riding a bus.

Tammy Lee Emery filed a lawsuit July 25 in the Madison County Circuit Court against Richard A. Greer and St. Louis Trucking Inc., citing negligence.

According to the complaint, Emery was a passenger on a Madison County Transit bus on Route 3 in Granite City on Aug. 7, 2012, when the bus was rear-ended by a St. Louis Trucking vehicle driven by Greer. Emery says she sustained injuries to her head, neck, shoulders, back, knee, arm and leg.

Emery is seeking more than $50,000 in damages. She is being represented in the case by attorney Bob L. Perica of The Perica Law Firm P.C. in Wood River.
