HAMILTON, Circuit Judge.
Edmund Carman died after crashing his car into the back of a commercial pickup truck. His estate brought state negligence claims in federal district court against the truck’s driver, the driver’s employer, and the truck’s owner, invoking the court’s diversity jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1). (Carman was a citizen of Indiana, where his estate is pending, while the defendants are citizens of Illinois.) The district court granted summary judgment for the defendants. The estate appeals.
