Lawsuit Filed Against Bar in Fatal DUI Crash
A lawsuit has been filed against a Chattanooga, Tenn., bar that claims the establishment provided its employees with free alcohol that resulted in the death of a woman in a drunk-driving accident. Chattanooga Billiard Club employee Jeremy Lane was charged with vehicular homicide and DUI in the death of Susan Berry Wood in December of last year. According to the lawsuit, Lane stayed at the bar and drank “free alcohol” after his shift ended at 3 a.m. on Dec. 23. He left the bar four hours later “visibly intoxicated,” the suit claims, and hit Wood with his car. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
