Ronald Cassella v. Jennifer Lenches, et al.: A Branford man has been awarded nearly $50,000 after a negligent driver damaged his rare sports car.

Ronald Cassella was driving his 1971 Steel City Grey Corvette Stingray LT-1 on Route 146 in Branford in the early afternoon May 26, 2007. Jennifer Lenches, also of Branford, was driving in the opposite direction; she crossed the double yellow lines and seemed headed for a head-on collision with Cassella.
