OPINION
BAKER, Chief Judge.
This appeal stems from a fatal car accident that occurred when a vehicle in which eighteen-year-old Aubra Hiland was a passenger left the roadway in Jackson County, overturned on a steep slope, landed in a ditch, and filled with water, killing Aubra and the driver of the vehicle. Aubra’s Estate sued the State for wrongful death and the State sought summary judgment, arguing that it was immune from liability pursuant to the Indiana Tort Claims Act (ITCA).1 The trial court agreed and granted summary judgment in the State’s favor.
