The plaintiff was severely injured in a head-on collision with a propane tanker on a snow-covered municipal road.
The plaintiffs sued the driver of the tanker and the municipalities responsible for winter road maintenance.
The court found that the road was in a state of non-repair that contributed to the accident, and the municipality failed to prove it took reasonable steps to maintain the road.
Liability was apportioned 50% to the municipal defendants, 33% to the tanker driver, and 17% to the plaintiff for contributory negligence.
