Rafael I. Rangamar and Miguel R. Fitial, both of Gualo Rai, were summoned by the U.S. District Court for the NMI and were given 20 days to answer the complaint filed by taxi driver Ismail Hossain.
The vehicles driven by Rangamar and Hossain collided on Middle Road, Puerto Rico, on the night of Nov. 12, 2007.
Rangamar was driving a Ford Escape while Hossain was behind the wheel of a Toyota Siena.
Both were hurt after the collision and their vehicles sustained severe damage.
Hossain stated in his complaint that Rangamar was “driving negligently, carelessly, recklessly, and with deliberate disregard and reckless indifference to the safety of others.”
Hossain added that Rangamar “failed to yield the right of way” as indicated by the police citation.
According to Hossain, Rangamar “had no driver’s license and the car was unregistered and uninsured.”
Hossain said he included Fitial in the complaint for negligent entrustment as the co-owner of the vehicle driven by Rangamar.
