SULLIVAN, Justice.
While standing in her driveway, plaintiff MaryBeth Groves heard the loud "pop" of a vehicle fatally striking her brother and turned to observe his body as it rolled off the highway. She appeals lower court determinations disallowing her pursuit of mental trauma damages under the modified impact rule. Finding sufficient direct involvement, we hold that the plaintiff may present her mental trauma claim to a jury.
