The sister of a Fort Wayne man that lost his life in a car accident, in February, has filed a wrongful death suit against the driver of the car responsible for causing collision that led to her brother's death.

The accident happened when a woman driving a minivan, ran a red light and struck a pickup truck, causing the driver to lose control and crash into a parked 2007 Pontiac which killed her brother while he was putting coins in the meter.

Conner walked everywhere for much of his adult life and was often seen walking all over Allen County, far away from his apartment near the Fort Wayne Newspapers building. He had bought the Pontiac just a few months before he was killed.

The lawsuit was filed in Allen Superior Court this week and seeks unspecified damages against the driver of the minivan and her employer, Correctional Management Co, of Indianapolis, the owner of the vehicle.

The suit claims the woman was driving the minivan in a dangerous and negligent manner and the company was negligent for hiring her and allowing her to drive in a dangerous manner.
