1Opinion of the Court

RAY, Justice.

This appeal arises from a wrongful death lawsuit brought by several members of the Alvarado family against the City of Lubbock and others as a result of an accident that took the life of Samuel Alvarado. At issue is whether the summary judgment evidence conclusively supports the trial court’s rendition of summary judgment for the City. The court of appeals, in an unpublished opinion, Tex.R.Civ.P. 452, affirmed the trial court judgment. We reverse the judgments of the courts below and remand the cause to the trial court for a trial on the merits.
