Pontoon Beach pedestrian claims driver struck her on Liberty Place

A Madison County woman says she was hit by a car while she was crossing a street in Pontoon Beach.

Tonda S. Randle filed a lawsuit April 10 in Madison County Circuit Court against Deandray T. Buchanan.

Randle says she was crossing Liberty Place, near the intersection of Chain of Rocks Road, in August 2012. Buchanan, driving north on Liberty Place, allegedly tried to pass another car on the left and hit Randle with her car.

Randle accuses Buchanan of negligence and asks for more than $50,000 in damages for medical expenses, lost wages and court costs. She is represented by attorneys Gregory D. Abel, Charles A. Lukis, Julie A. Blanks and Craig D. Queen of Decatur.
