Opinion
KUHL, J.*
Julie R. was raped by the uninsured driver of a car in which she was riding. She filed a claim against her uninsured motorist insurance policy, contending that her injuries from the assault arose out of the use of her assailant’s vehicle. The insurance company filed a declaratory relief action, seeking a declaration that the policy did not cover Julie R.’s injuries. We agree with the trial court that the policy does not provide coverage because there is an insufficient causal link between Julie R.’s injuries from the assault and the assailant’s use of his vehicle.
