Considered by REYNOLDSON, C.J., and HARRIS, McCORMICK, LARSON, and SCHULTZ, JJ.


LARSON, Justice.

This action arises out of a collision between two trucks admittedly caused, in part, by a snow-clearing operation performed by the Iowa Department of Transportation.

We conclude they were not and, therefore, reverse.
