More fallout from the fatal traffic accident involving Tammy Sytch.
On April 6 it was reported that Tammy Sytch, better known to wrestling fans as Sunny, allegedly caused a car crash in which a 75-year-old man died in March. The police suspected she was under the influence of booze at the time of the wreck.
PWInsider reports that a civil lawsuit has been filed against Sytch and boyfriend James F. Pente by the estate of Julian L. Lasseter, who was killed on March 25 in Ormond Beach, Florida. The lawsuit is seeking 'in excess of' $30,000.
The lawsuit alleges "negligence" by Sytch. The lawsuit also alleges Pente is 'vicariously liable' for Sytch’s actions by allowing her to use his vehicle. The lawsuit goes on to state the Lasseter family has sustained medical and funeral expenses as a result of Sytch’s actions, and Lasseter’s adult daughter "has suffered, and will suffer into the future, the loss of her father's companionship, instruction, guidance, and mental pain and suffering as a result of her father's death."
Sytch and Pente have yet to respond to the lawsuit.
According to the police documents, Sytch was driving a 2012 Mercedes when she crashed into the rear of a 2013 Kia Sorrento that had been stopped at a light. The front of the Kia then crashed into the rear of a 2011 GMC Yukon that had also been stopped at the light.
In a statement to TMZ Sports at the time of the original report, a spokesperson for the Ormond Beach Police Dept. said they are actively investigating the crash -- and say toxicology results could ultimately lead to criminal charges against Sytch.
Sytch has not been arrested for the incident.
Fightful will continue to update fans on the situation as more is known.
