A 26-year-old woman left a Marilyn Manson concert and devastated residents on a Canadian street after an explosive car crash.
Daniella Lace, who pleaded guilty to four counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm in October 2020, caused an estimated $10 million to $15 million in damages. She was sentenced to three years in prison in February 2021 and is now suing the chamber for kicking her out of the chamber despite her level of intoxication, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Dubbed by the CBC the “car bomb” fiasco, the incident happened on August 14, 2019 at 450 Woodman Ave in London, Ontario, Canada — a seven-minute drive from the show at the Budweiser Gardens arena. Lees crashed her Ford Fusion, which was registered in her father’s name, into a single home. But moments later, a broken gas line caused by the crash caused an explosion that tore apart four houses and injured seven people nearby, according to the CBC.
She also faces a legal backlash from at least six victims of civil cases demanding she pay for the damages, according to The Independent. That prompted Lees and her father, Sean, to file a lawsuit against Ovations Ontario Food Services, who they say should also share some of the responsibility.
According to the CBC, Lees and her father are accusing Ovations Ontario Food Services of failing to accommodate her “intended mode of transportation as she existed at Budweiser Gardens when they knew or should have known she was or sought to be intoxicated and/or impaired.”
The two also accuse the company and/or servers of serving Lace “when they knew or should have known she was intoxicated or about to become intoxicated,” CBC reports. The lawsuit added that the workers “evicted Lace from the scene without taking steps to ensure she did not drive home,” according to the New York Post.
Insider was unable to obtain a copy of the legal documents. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice and Oak View Group, which owns Ovations Ontario Food Services, did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment. Lace could not be reached for comment.
