The family of a woman killed in a collision in May on Washington Street has filed a wrongful death suit against the man accused causing the fatal wreck and the bar where he was drinking that night.

The estate of Krystal Foster is suing Dakota West, 22, 1270 Jeff Davis Road, and 1311 Bar and Grill seeking $859,000 in damages in Foster’s death, according to an amended civil complaint filed last week in circuit court.

Foster, 23, died May 23 when a Lincoln LS driven by West collided with a Ford Aerostar van she was a passenger in near the intersection of Washington and Bowman streets.

The suit contends West was intoxicated and driving well above the posted speed limit.

The speed limit on that section of Washington Street is 30 miles per hour.

“He was grossly negligent in the manner in which he was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated state, at a highly dangerous rate of speed and driving on the wrong side of the roadway causing the violent wreck which killed Krystal Foster,” reads a part of the civil complaint.

The suit also claims the bar was reckless by continuing to serve alcohol to West “without regard to the consequences, safety and well being of Krystal Foster and others who would be foreseeably damaged and killed as a result thereof.”

In addition to West and the bar, the suit lists 10 people “whose identity is unknown to the plaintiff at this time.”

A civil complaint only tells one side of the case, and a response had not been filed Friday in Warren County Circuit Court.

West was set to stand trial Nov. 10 for aggravated driving under the influence. The trial was delayed after his defense attorney Davis Sessums sought independent expert analysis of the vehicles involved in the crash and a toxicology sample taken from West.

A new trial date had not been set in the criminal case.
