Dunn was driving her Nissan Rogue on Illinois Route 3 on June 28, 2019, according to her complaint. Dunn alleges that as she approached the road s intersection with Illinois Route 143, Pearson, who was driving a Dodge Grand Caravan within the scope of his employment with A1 Med Car, made an illegal left turn directly into the path of her vehicle. She claims Pearson violently collided head-on and T-boned her vehicle, which caused her to suffer injuries to her abdomen, back, neck, spine and head. Dunn also claims her injuries have caused her to incur medical treatment expenses and has impaired her ability to work.
