On September 8, 2023, while K.N. was driving a Honda CRV north on South Ft.

As a result of this accident, LeBlanc was cited for careless driving under Florida Statutes, Section 316.192 (Case No. 23-64270-TR).
K.N., who claims to have exercised due care while operating her vehicle and was wearing safety belts at the time of the incident, alleges that she suffered permanent injury due to the defendants' negligence. She seeks damages in excess of $50,000 exclusive of interest and attorneys’ fees.
