1Opinion of the Court
JEFFREY W. BATES, Judge.
This is an interlocutory appeal from an order granting class action certification. See Rule 84.035; § 512.020(3).1 The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (the Commission) contends the trial court abused its discretion in certifying a class action with a plaintiff class consisting of all persons who sustained injuries or property damage during a five-year period as a result of wet-pavement crashes on a 1.3-mile section of Interstate 44 in Phelps County, Missouri (the 1^14 section). We agree.
