A St. Clair County jury reached a defense verdict on March 20 in favor of a motorist accused of causing a St. Clair County collision.

Plaintiff Deborah Lewis of Granite City filed the small claims complaint against Nathan Mesiti of Belleville on Oct. 17, 2018.

She alleges Mesiti caused a collision on June 30, 2018 when he struck her vehicle while entering highway 15 from the on-ramp.

Lewis sought $2,000 in compensatory damages and $192 in interest, plus court costs.

Mesiti answered the complaint on Nov. 19 through attorney Bharat Varadachari of HeplerBroom in Edwardsville. He denied the allegations against him.

Lewis represented herself pro se.
