FRIEDMAN, Judge.
Joseph Shimko appeals from the May 15, 1998 order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County (trial court), which granted the motions for summary judgment filed by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Transportation (DOT) and The City of Pittsburgh (City) based on the doctrines of sovereign and governmental immunity. We reverse the granting of summary judgment in favor of DOT and remand this case to the trial court for further proceedings; however, we affirm the granting of summary judgment in favor of the City.
