Heard before ROGOSHESKE, TODD, SCOTT, and KNUTSON, JJ., and considered and decided by the court en banc.


TODD, Justice.

Plaintiff appeals from an order denying her motion for a new trial. Defendant's vehicle, after losing a wheel, went out of control and crossed the median, striking plaintiff's vehicle. The jury returned a special verdict finding that the collision was an unavoidable accident and in accordance with the court's instructions made no further determination as to defendant's negligence. We reverse and remand for a new trial.

The facts are not in dispute...
