Docket entry

952312 Harrah v. Washington 11/01/1996 In a wrongful death action following a series of motor vehicle accidents on a fog-shrouded mountain, the question whether the defendant's negligence, if any, was a proximate cause of the collision resulting in the decedent's death was, at the very least, a question for the jury. However, because the trial court committed reversible error in instructing the jury on unavoidable accident, the case must be remanded.
