1Opinion of the CourtSweeney, J.
The determinative issue in this appeal is whether a carrier-lessee of a motor vehicle engaged in interstate commerce is liable under Interstate Commerce Commission (“I.C.C.”) regulations for any accidents caused by the negligence of the driver while the lease is in effect and while the motor vehicle displays the carrier-lessee’s I.C.C. placards or identification numbers, even though the driver is not the lessee’s employee. For the reasons that follow, we answer such inquiry in the affirmative, and thereby reverse the judgment rendered by the court of appeals below.
