Statement of Case:
On July 5, 2018, at about 5:49 p.m., Plaintiff Jason Wachal was driving his 2013 Subaru Outback in an easterly direction on 175th Street in Buchanan County, Iowa. At this time, a 1997 Freightliner semi-truck and trailer loaded with a carnival ride and owned by defendant Evens United Shows, Inc., was traveling in a westerly direction on 175th Street in Buchanan County, Iowa. As these vehicles passed each other, a metal bar or handle attached to a carnival ride on the trailer of the 1997 Freightliner semi-truck swung out and struck the left front windshield and roof pillar of the vehicle driven by Plaintiff Jason Wachal, causing injury and damage to the Plaintiffs as alleged in this case. The Defendant Evans United Shows, Inc., denies that the Plaintiffs sustained any injuries or damages as the result of the incident alleged. |
