A woman injured in crash on July 4, 2024, is suing the estate of the 73-year-old nun who hit her, herself killed in the crash.

Jodean Munley, along with Thomas J. Munley, her husband, and Logan Munley, her son, filed a civil suit on July 10, which names Sister Kathryn Clauss, IHM President of the Congregation of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, as executrix of the estate of Sister Anne McDonald and the congregation itself.

Thomas Munley is a senior Lackawanna County judge.

Sister Anne McDonald was driving south on Hill Street, Jessup, at about 10:45 a.m. when she lost control of her vehicle, hitting two areas of fencing at the Jessup Youth Sports field and then hitting Munley near the point where the road’s name changes to Moosic Lake Road.

According to the complaint:

The blunt force impact of the crash sent Jodean Munley more than 10 feet into the air and she landed on her head about 20 feet away.

She was found unconscious, bleeding from her head and incapacitated with a bone protruding from her forearm.

Munley, the complaint states, did not breath for an extended period of time and then began gasping for air as she lay on the ground, unable to move.

The complaint lists multiple ailments Jodean Munley suffered during and after her hospital stay, including gastrointestinal discomfort, reliance on medications and emotional instability.

It references expenses incurred relative to Munley’s recuperation and alleges that such expenses are likely to continue.

Others affected

Logan Munley witnessed his mother being struck by the motor vehicle, being thrown in the air and landing on her head.

He also witnessed her laying on the ground, bleeding, with a compound fracture to her arm, causing him to sustain emotional, mental and physical injuries.

“Plaintiff Logan Munley was caused to suffer the trauma of objectively believing his Mother, Plaintiff Jodean Munley, was dead,” the complaint reads.

The lawsuit alleged Thomas J. Munley sustained emotional and mental injuries, including loss of companionship, affection and assistance from his wife.

Attorneys Thomas W. Munley, Edward G. Krowiak and  Jesse B. Hallinan are representing the Munleys.

Attorney Michael Perry is representing the estate of Sister Anne McDonald and the Congregation of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Then: That afternoon of July 4, 2024,  Sister Anne McDonald, of the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, was driving south on Hill Street  when she lost control of her car, began driving erratically and hit Jodean Munley, the wife of Senior Judge Thomas Munley.

Now: Jodean Munley, her husband Thomas Munley and son Logan Munley are suing the estate of Sister Anne McDonald and Congregation of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary for alleging Jodean Munley sustained life-threatening, traumatic injuries due to McDonald’s negligent and careless conduct.

Today’s Segments

Rediscovering the Plains: Scholars Explore Prairie Identity & Change
While conducting archival research at NDSU, historians Dr. Molly Rozum and Dr. David Vail joined Main Street to share new insights into the cultural and environmental history of the Northern Plains. Rozum, author of Grasslands Grown, focuses on the rise of regional institutions and identity during the mid-20th century. Vail, author of Chemical Lands, examines Cold War-era agricultural practices, chemical use, and risk management. Their complementary research—supported by the Gunlogson Research Grant—reveals the Great Plains as a place of innovation, adaptation, and enduring complexity. From children’s stories to chemical stewardship, they argue the region’s history offers vital lessons for navigating future challenges.

History and Memory: NDSU and the Legacy of Germans from Russia
Why has North Dakota State University become the cultural home for descendants of Germans from Russia, the state’s largest ethnic group? Historian Dr. Tom Isern explores how the land-grant mission of NDSU aligned with the values and history of this community—deeply tied to the prairie landscape and agriculture. Isern connects this legacy to a vibrant publishing tradition at NDSU Press, which continues to share the stories and scholarship of this distinct ethnic heritage. It’s a conversation about memory, migration, and the role of institutions in preserving identity across generations.

Reclaiming Youth Sports: Brad Strand on Restoring Balance & Joy Part 2
In part two of his conversation with Main Street, Dr. Brad Strand continues to critique the commercialized, adult-driven model of youth sports that prioritizes competition over development. A professor emeritus at NDSU, Strand argues for restoring joy, inclusion, and personal growth as the core values of youth athletics. He outlines how communities can support multi-sport participation, remove financial barriers, and foster lifelong habits of physical activity. His research urges a cultural shift—so that sports once again serve all children, not just the most competitive few.

After the Ice: Michigan’s Forests in Recovery Mode
Northern Michigan is grappling with the aftermath of a historic ice storm that shattered trees and left nearly a quarter of its managed forestland damaged. The destruction has disrupted ecosystems, endangered timber operations, and increased the risk of invasive species. In response, both state agencies and private contractors are racing to clear debris, salvage wood, and prevent ecological collapse. While immediate cleanup is underway, the long-term environmental impacts remain uncertain. The scale of the storm has sparked new conversations about climate resilience and forest management in the Great Lakes region.
