RUSCH, Circuit Judge.

[¶ 1.] These appeals involve two related cases. Both cases arose from an automobile accident on January 21, 2000, involving cars driven by Myra Wulf and Catherine Westphal. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of Jeff Senst and Mervin Bultje, employees of the South Dakota Department of Transportation (DOT), on the grounds of sovereign immunity and denied a motion to consolidate the two cases for trial. We reverse.
