A Randolph County man is suing over claims he was injured when his car was rear-ended on Lebanon Avenue in Swansea.
Patrick B. Zweigart filed a lawsuit Aug. 6 in the St. Clair County Circuit Court against Bradley J. Smith, citing negligence.
According to the complaint, Zweigart was driving south on Lebanon Avenue near its intersection with North Gilbert Street in the village of Swansea on Sept. 26, 2012, when his vehicle was rear-ended by a vehicle driven by Smith.
