ANTM Cycle 15 contestant Lexie Tomchek sues bus driver for ruining her career

According to a report on TMZ.com, America's Next Top Model Cycle 15 contestant Lexie Tomchek has filed a suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court against a bus driver, that apparently made an illegal turn, ramming into her car, and leaving her permanently injured, "derailing her modeling career."

The man named in the suit, Narciso Ayala, apparently took an illegal right turn on March 28, 2011, and rammed her car.

TMZ reports that they were told that Lexie's lawyer said that the model's career has taken a crippling blow, and she is suing for lost wages and hospital and medical expenses.

Specifically, she's asking for $25,000. TMZ called the driver and his employer, but their calls were not returned.

Well, if you base Lexie's modeling potential on what we saw in Cycle 15, she really didn't do all that well. She was in the bottom two in the 3rd episode and gone in the 5th episode. She never ranked over fifth in the final call-outs for the weeks she was on the show. Not a stellar performance.
