A man has filed a lawsuit against Hollywood heavyweights Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson after their son, Chet Hanks (full name Chester), allegedly rear-ended him on a California highway in 2015.
Terry Moogan, the plantiff, says he was “minding his own business” driving on the freeway when Hanks, 25, collided with his vehicle.

“Chester Hanks was driving his vehicle in an unreasonable and unsafe manner and was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol at the time his vehicle struck Mr. Moogan’s vehicle,” the lawsuit claims.
Tom Hanks and Wilson own the vehicle involved in the accident, and that is reason enough to include them as defendants, according to the complainant.

The lawsuit states: “Despite knowing that Chester Hanks was a careless and reckless driver and a habitual user of drugs and alcohol, they negligently permitted Chester Hanks to operate their vehicle and thus, in addition to Chester Hanks, are responsible for the physical and emotional injuries Mr. Moogan sustained as the result of the accident.”
Chet admitted that he has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction in the past, saying that he went to rehab last summer. An aspiring rapper, he has been working to keep a low profile since the accident.
