Former University of Tennessee head football coach Lane Kiffin's name is mentioned several times in a new lawsuit filed against a Knoxville [COLOR=darkgreen ! important]car[/color] dealer.
A former employee of Toyota of Knoxville and [COLOR=darkgreen ! important]Lexus of Knoxville[/color], Mark Boling, filed the lawsuit this week.
Boling alleged he was fired after a long series of events, but the part that is noteworthy is that the suit mentioned a crash that happened in August of 2009, shortly before Kiffin's one season as the Vol's head coach.
In the suit, Boling claimed Kiffin was driving a $75,000 Lexus which belonged to the [COLOR=darkgreen ! important]dealership[/color] when he crashed it into a ditch and hit a fence.
The suit also alleged the dealership's General Manager, Andy White, picked Kiffin up at the scene of the crash to keep Kiffin from being seen by law enforcement.
The lawsuit said the dealership filed a $29,188 estimate for repairs to the [COLOR=darkgreen ! important]vehicle[/color], but said Kiffin never reported the collision.
