McINERNEY, Justice.

On Certiorari to the Court of Appeals, we must decide whether to allow reliance on the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur when only a specific act of negligence is alleged, and if so, whether the doctrine is available to a party injured in a single vehicle accident. Also, we must decide the propriety of joining a motor carrier's insurer as defendant when the accident occurs outside the State of Oklahoma.
