Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filed After Elderly Woman Killed By Mercedez
A wrongful death lawsuit was filed by the estate of Mavis Stonick who was killed when she tried to cross the street. According to the lawsuit the elderly Evanston woman attempted to cross Sheridan Road near Foster Street in Evanston and was struck by a Mercedez-benz driven by Judy Lowrance.
According to witness accounts, Stonick was walking west across Sheridan Road against a light when she was struck by a car which was traveling within the posted speed limit. The main problem invovling this car accident may have been darkness and rainy weather. The lawsuit alleges Lowrance was careless and negligent because she failed to keep a proper lookout and drove to fast for traffic and weather conditions.
