The wife of a man killed when a tent collapsed at a suburban Chicago festival has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit.
The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reports that Nicole Nincic filed the lawsuit in Cook County court. She alleges organizers of the Wood Dale Prairie Fest and a tent vendor should not have herded visitors under a poorly secured tent on Aug. 2, as a powerful storm approached.
Thirty-five-year-old Steven Nincic was struck and killed by a falling tent pole; 22 others were injured.
Three of the injured are included as plaintiffs in the complaint, which names McCook-based Classic Party Rentals and Chicago Special Events Management as defendants. The lawsuit seeks a minimum of $50,000.
The city was not named in the lawsuit.
