CHICAGO — A Cook County woman is suing the organizers of an event at a Chicago church, alleging negligence led to her suffering injuries.

Shannon House filed a lawsuit May 2 in Cook County Circuit Court against Apostolic Church of God, Addison All Sports Company Inc., doing business as Four Seasons Amusements, alleging negligence in failing to maintain a safe environment during the event.

According to the complaint, on Aug. 2, 2014, House suffered injuries when struck by the roof of the trackless train during an event at the Apostolic Church of God, 6320 S. Drochester Ave., Chicago.
