Woman sues state Sen. Campbell over crash to 'restore her good name'

A woman involved in a car crash with state Sen. Paul Campbell (R) filed a lawsuit Monday, hoping it will "restore her good name" amid discussion about the disputed facts of the wreck, her lawyer said.

Michaela Caddin, 21, of Summerville, had slowed for traffic Nov. 4 on Interstate 26 near North Charleston when the legislator's Mercedes-Benz rear-ended her SUV.

She said she suffered minor injuries. But what happened since the crash motivated her to sue Campbell, chairman of the S.C. Senate Ethics Committee and chief executive of the Charleston County Aviation Authority.

Caddin alleged that he switched seats after the wreck, making it appear as though his wife was the driver. He was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and giving false information to the police.

He and his wife lied about who was driving. You know how republicans are. She told the truth, but she is being smeared as a liar. They want the videos of the accident to prove she is telling the truth. This senator is head of the ethics board and he lied to the state police.
