Evans v. Department of Transportation
Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court
Andrews, Chief Judge.
This action arose as the result of an automobile accident in which 18-year-old Frances Evans was killed when she lost control of her car on a wet highway and collided with a tractor-trailer truck. Josephine Evans, Frances’ mother, sued the Georgia Department of Transportation (“DOT”), claiming that it negligently failed to repair and maintain the highway where the accident occurred. A jury found the DOT was not negligent, and Evans appeals, bringing three enumerations of error. Because we find the trial court erred in transferring this case to Columbia County, we reverse.
