According to the complaint, Lager-Fermon was driving a Subaru Crosstrek with an Ohio license plate when she crashed into Bornong on I-90 westbound eastbound near mile marker 328.
The lawsuit states that Lager-Fermon’s blood alcohol level was 0.279 per mille, more than three times the legal limit of 0.08.
Both Lager-Fermon and Bornong were seriously injured in the accident.
