The families of victims in a deadly hit-and-run are suing the City of Elkhart on claims a sidewalk is unsafe.

The Aug. 2017 crash killed a woman, 11-year-old girl and baby. The three, along with two other victims who survived, were walking about Beardsley Avenue near Cassopolis when they were hit.

According to our reporting partners at the Goshen News, the lawsuit claims the intersection had problems before the crash. It also states the city didn't give proper warnings about a lane shift.

The surviving crash victims have joined in the lawsuit. Leonard Grosswiler has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crash.
