A wrongful death and injury lawsuit filed against the Kraft Group and several companies associated with Gillette Stadium has been given the green light to proceed to trial.

The suit stems from a crash that injured Nina Houlihan, 24, of Norton and killed 20-year-old Debra Davis of Milton and the driver, 19-year-old Alexa Latteo of Mansfield. The three women had been drinking in the parking lot at Gillette Stadium during the New England Country Music Festival on July 26, 2008, and afterward crashed into a tree about a mile away from the stadium.
