FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla—It started out as a mystery—how did a Fort Lauderdale waitress wind up lying on a suburban freeway before dawn last weekend, getting fatally struck by numerous passing cars?

The family of 33-year-old Jennifer St. Clair now thinks they know. In a lawsuit filed on Dec. 14, they say St. Clair was on a first date with Miles McChesney of New York when she fell off his borrowed Harley-Davidson motorcycle and he fled. The Florida Highway Patrol has declined comment, saying St. Clair’s death is under investigation. McChesney’s attorney, Russell Cormican, also declined comment.
