* While operating his Chevy truck, Carl Sickles attempted to pull into the parking lot of Tireland, a business located on the Mileground. He was unable to stop his vehicle and crashed into a new 2007 Suzuki SX4 owned by Midtown Motors Inc. The Suzuki was under contract to be sold to another dealer but due to the damage that occurred, the sale was unable to be completed. Midtown alleges Sickles' operated his vehicle knowing that the brakes were faulty and the inspection sticker had expired. They are seeking compensatory and general damages, loss of profit from the sale of the vehicle, floor plan interest from having to keep the vehicle in inventory, pre and post judgment interest as well as court costs and attorney fees.
