Description
Cecil King was killed and his wife and two daughters were injured when their car collided head-on with a car driven by Ronald Wright. King was driving in the right direction down a one-way access road toward a freeway entrance. Wright, who had been drinking, was headed the wrong way on that access road after having gone past a pair of "DO NOT ENTER" signs facing him. Kings wife and daughters sued Wright and the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. The jury found that both defendants negligence caused the collision, attributing 15% to Wright, who settled with the Kings during trial, and 85% to the State. The Kings obtained favorable jury findings against the State on four theories: failure to place non-discretionary traffic signs or warning devices on the roadway; failure to correct the absence or condition of traffic signs or warning devices within a reasonable time after notice; failure to warn Cecil King of a dangerous condition or make the condition reasonably safe; and failure to warn King of hazards not normally connected with the use of the roadway. The trial court rendered judgment on the verdict for the Kings against the State. The court of appeals affirmed. 795 S.W.2d 888.
