Damages Sought in Vigo County Pedestrian Crash Suits
Two separate lawsuits filed in Vigo Superior Court seek 1.35 million dollars after a 7 year old boy was struck at 7th and Voorhees in June 1966. Plaintiff John D Hemminghouse names driver Beverly A House and her father John H Frederick as defendants. The actions demand 1.25 million for injuries and 100 thousand for medical costs and lost services. The boy suffered fractures, paralysis on the right side, trauma and permanent scarring. House allegedly exceeded school zone speed, drove with faulty brakes, and ignored signals at a crossing. The complaint claims the child waited for a crossing guard signal before crossing and was struck after a red light. Frederick is named as a defendant in the action.
