STUART, Justice.
Mary Nell Phillips sued commercial truck driver James Travis Seward and his employer, Heartland Express, Inc., in the Houston Circuit Court after she was injured in an automobile accident involving her vehicle and an 18-wheel tractor-trailer rig driven by Seward. Following a jury trial, the jury returned a verdict in favor of Seward and Heartland Express. The trial court denied Phillips’s motion for a judgment as a matter of law or, in the alternative, for a new trial and entered a judgment on the jury’s verdict. Phillips appeals. We reverse and remand.
