Hookah Bar Sued for Serving Minor Involved in Fatal Accident
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Ali Baba, a Jacksonville hookah bar, is being sued for serving an underage drinker who was involved in fatal car accident.
The crash happened just after midnight November 14, 2010. Maida Sy, 19, had a 12:30 a.m. curfew. Maida was on her way home and only minutes away when her car was hit, and she was killed.
Police arrested 20-year-old Robert Tofson. He is charged with DUI and vehicular homicide.
"Somebody knock(ed) on our door at four o'clock in the morning and the horrible thing is it's the policeman," said Nida Sy, Maida's mother.
Sy said her daughter was her best friend. She said the 2010 Sandalwood High School graduate had big plans for her life. She was studying to be a pharmacist.
