Lawsuit against Surrey mayor going to court next year

A lawsuit against Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts is going to court next year.

Shawnene Redekopp is suing the mayor after the two were involved in a car crash.

In April 2010, Watts and her husband were heading home from a work event when their SUV collided with Redekopp’s vehicle at 128th Street and 24th Avenue.

All three were taken to hospital.

Police at the time said alcohol was not a factor.

There have been conflicting reports on who had the green light and who t-boned who.

Redekopp is suing the mayor for driving without due care, among other allegations — which have not been proven in court.

The matter is set to go to trial in October 2013.
