AMANDA G. HOPKINS Defendants IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA CIVIL ACTION-LAW JURY TRIAL OF TWELVE DEMANDED COMPLAINT 1. The Plaintiff, Heriberto Crespo, is an adult individual residing at 6 Cumberland Drive, Carlisle, PA 17013. 2. The Defendant, Amanda G. Hopkins, is an adult individual residing at 4181 Elk Court, Apt. 106, Mechanicsburg, PA 17050. 3, On or about October 6, 2003, the Defendant, Amanda Hopkins, was operating a 2003 Mercury owned by Penrac, Inc., heading north on North Hanover Street in the Borough of Carlisle. 4. As the Defendant Hopkins was approaching the Enterprise Car Rental parking lot located at 800 North Hanover Street, she suddenly began a left turn into the Enterprise Car Rental parking lot. 5. After making that sudden left turn, the Defendant Hopkins realized that she could not safely complete the turn and therefore, stopped, essentially blocking the left turn lane. 6. At that time, the Plaintiff's daughter, who was operating his 1990 BMW 525, was also traveling in the northbound lane of North Hanover Street. 7. In order to avoid striking the Defendant's vehicle, Plaintiff's daughter was required to swerve to the right due to the sudden emergency with which she was confronted. 8. When she did this, Plaintiff's daughter struck a curb cut-out with her fight front tire and was caused to cross over the northbound lane of North Hanover Street, the center left mm lane and struck a vehicle proceeding southbound on North Hanover Street. 9. The collision was caused solely as a result of the negligence, recklessness and carelessness of the Defendant in that she: a) Attempted to make a left-hand turn from the right-hand lane rather than the left-hand center turn lane,; b) Suddenly stopped her vehicle while in the process of making that aforesaid illegal left-hand mm, therefore, blocking two lanes of traffic; c) Attempted to make a left-hand turn when it was not safe to do so; d) Made an illegal left-hand mm in violation of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code; and e) Failed to exercise reasonable care in the operation and control of her vehicle. 10. As a direct and proximate result of the negligence of the Defendant, Plaintiff's vehicle, which had a fair-market value of $6,100.00 plus $366.00 in sales tax, was a total loss (see total loss evaluation attached as Exhibit "A" and NADA book value for 1990 BMW 525, which is hereby attached as Exhibit "B"). I 1. As a result of the negligence, recklessness and carelessness of the Defendant, the Plaintiff incurred reasonable towing and storing charges of $662.00. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against the Defendant in the amount of $7,128.00, plus interest, costs and delay damages.
