Mother of boy hit on 17th Street files lawsuit
The family of the 15-year-old boy seriously hurt when he was hit by a SUV while crossing 17th Street in September has filed suit against the driver, the church where the victim was attending a concert and the concert promoters.
Plaintiff Lisa Clapper and son Steven Weidlich allege that driver Linda Weakland of Cresson was speeding, didn’t have her lights on after dark and fled the scene, allegations that contradict what police said of the crash.
The lawsuit also alleges that Jaggard United Methodist Church, the Methodist Conference that it’s part of and promoters JoAnn Wapner and son Ryan were negligent not to put an end to concert-goers crossing 17th Street to access a Sheetz convenience store on a stretch prohibited to pedestrians.
