CITY OF AMARILLO v. MARTIN

No. 96-0123.

971 S.W.2d 426 (1998)

CITY OF AMARILLO, Petitioner, v. Erica Shae MARTIN, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Texas.

Decided June 5, 1998.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Merril E. Nunn, Amarillo, for Petitioner.

Glynn C. Turquand, Brian Douglas Walters, San Antonio, for Respondent.

ENOCH, Justice, delivered the opinion of the Court, in which GONZALEZ, HECHT, OWEN, BAKER, ABBOTT, and HANKINSON, Justices, join.

Firefighter Brent Clark collided with two vehicles while driving a City of Amarillo fire truck on an emergency call. We must decide whether the City, Clark's employer, may be liable to Erica Martin, the driver of one of the other vehicles, for Clark's simple negligence. The trial court said yes. So did the court of appeals.
