Cullars v. Manatee County

DANAHY, Acting Chief Judge.

Appellants (Mr. and Mrs. Cullars) brought this suit to recover damages for injuries sustained by Mrs. Cullars in an automobile accident. On May 22, 1981, Mrs. Cullars was employed as a deputy sheriff by appellee (Manatee County). On that date, while driving a vehicle owned by Manatee County, she stopped at an intersection intending to make a left turn. A vehicle directly behind her also stopped, but a third vehicle driven by William Bernard Frazier failed to stop and struck the second vehicle, which in turn collided with the automobile occupied by Mrs. Cullars.
