Alicia M. Howe v. Christopher McAllister. In May, 2004, Alicia Howe, then a 24-year-old psychology student from Prospect, was stopped at a toll booth on the New Jersey Turnpike on her way to Argosy University in Washington, D.C.
Without warning, she was struck violently from behind by a 2003 Ford conversion van with enough force to cause her to spin and collide with a third vehicle in front of her. She had to be mechanically extricated from the car and was rushed by helicopter to Cooper University Hospital Trauma Center in Camden, N.J.
