Passenger says drunk driver caused Alton accident

A Madison County woman says she was hurt when the car she was riding in was hit head-on by a drunk driver.

Addie Cobb filed a lawsuit May 24 in Madison County Circuit Court against Joshua Williams-Holmes.

In October 2012, Cobb was a passenger in a car being driven on Landmark Boulevard in Alton, according to the petition. At that time, Cobb claims, Williams-Holmes was driving his Subaru Impreza and crashed into the front of her car. Cobb contends Williams-Holmes was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.

Cobb is suing Williams-Holmes for negligence and asks for more than $50,000 in damages for medical expenses and court costs. She is represented by attorney Brian L. Polinske of Edwardsville.
