MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. – A car crash that apparently caused damages totaling more than half a million dollars is at the center of a lawsuit involving the Kennedy Space Center.

Space Florida, which manages and operates the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF), filed a lawsuit late last month against Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds LLC, which had an agreement with Space Florida to conduct automotive testing activities at the SLF.

In the lawsuit, Space Florida accused Johnny Bohmer of breach of contract and negligence, stemming from an incident in 2020, when Space Florida said one of the defendant’s test vehicles “struck and damaged an electrical transformer located on the SLF premises.”

The lawsuit stated that the cost to restore the damaged transformer and related infrastructure was $561,594.54.
