Centreville woman sues over Belleville rear-end accident

A Centreville woman says she was hit from behind by another driver on a Belleville street.

Brittiny N. Thomas filed a lawsuit on April 23 against Harold M. Lawrence in St. Clair County Circuit Court.

Thomas says she was driving her Honda Accord east on West Main Street in July 2010 when she was rear-ended by Lawrence driving his Chevrolet Cobalt. Thomas accuses the Swansea man of negligence and asks for more than $50,000 in damages for loss of income and medical care plus the cost of the lawsuit.

Attorneys Mark C. Scoggins and Natalie M. Sager of Columbia are representing Thomas.
