Bradshaw v. City of Metropolis

Plaintiff, Sofonda Bradshaw, appeals from an order of the circuit court of Massac County granting summary judgment for defendant, the City of Metropolis, based upon sections 2 — 109 and 2 — 202 of the Local Governmental and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act (the Act) (745 ILCS 10/2 — 109, 2 — 202 (West 1992)).

On appeal, plaintiff contends that the trial court erred in finding that the municipality was protected from liability under the Act for a police officer’s negligent operation of his authorized emergency vehicle while responding to a 9-1-1 call. We reverse and remand.
