EDWARDSVILLE — A driver claims she was injured in a Bethalto collision while attempting to turn into QuickTrip.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on May 5, 2016, she was traveling south on Illinois Route 111 in Bethalto and was stopped to make a left turn into the QuickTrip parking lot when Waters struck the rear of her vehicle, causing her to suffer injuries. 

Jones claims she suffered great pain and anguish, emotional distress, loss of income and medical expenses.
