On or about November 12, 2013, the Plaintiff, Kiersten Stoner also known as Kiersten Belile was a pedestrian who was crossing Carlisle Pike in Hampton Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 3. At the location where the Plaintiff was crossing the highway, the area was controlled by a traffic signal and at the time that the Plaintiff crossed the highway the traffic signal was red for her direction of travel. 4. In conscious disregard of the traffic signal that was red for her direction of travel, the Plaintiff nevertheless attempted to cross the highway while traffic was proceeding on Carlisle Pike with a green traffic signal. 5. The conduct of the Plaintiff in crossing the highway with a red traffic signal for her direction of travel caused her almost to be struck by a vehicle that was making a right turn. The Plaintiff jumped onto the curb line to avoid that collision. 6. Immediately after almost being struck by that vehicle,the Plaintiff Kiersten Stoner also known as Kiersten Belile began to walk across the highway of Carlisle Pike with a red traffic signal for her direction of travel and began to jog and proceed quickly through the traffic that was proceeding on Carlisle Pike with a green traffic light. 7. The Plaintiff suddenly and without warning darted into the path of the vehicle being driven by the Defendant, Daniel Fickes. 8. As Mr. Fickes began to brake and pull his vehicle to the right in an effort to avoid striking the Plaintiff, the Plaintiff continued to run in the same direction causing her to be struck by the vehicle driven by the Defendant. 9. The collision that occurred between the Defendant's vehicle and the Plaintiff was directly and proximately caused by the negligence, carelessness and recklessness of the Plaintiff, Kiersten Stoner also known as Kiersten Belile, said negligence consisting of the following: a. The Plaintiff crossed a highway that was controlled by a traffic light while the traffic light was red for her direction of travel. b. The Plaintiff failed to keep a proper lookout for vehicles on the highway. c. The Plaintiff attempted to cross the highway when it was unsafe for her to do so. d. The Plaintiff crossed the highway in violation of the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in that she crossed while a red traffic signal controlled her direction of traffic. e. The Plaintiff crossed the highway without exercising due and reasonable care for her safety. 10. The claims of the Plaintiff are barred and or limited by her contributory negligence which was the direct and proximate cause and of her injuries and damages. 11. The Plaintiff's claims are barred and or limited by her comparative negligence which exceeded any negligence which may be imputed to the Defendant and which was the proximate cause of the collision and injuries sustained by the Plaintiff. 12. The Plaintiff is barred from recovery in that she voluntarily assumed the risk of her conduct which directly and proximately caused the collision and her injuries and damages. 13. The Defendant raises all defenses applicable under the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law and alleges that the Plaintiff failed to sustain an injury for which relief can be granted. 14. The Defendant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. WHEREFORE, Defendant, Daniel Fickes, demands that judgment be entered in his favor.
