Lenard v. Dilley

h CARAWAY, J.

Plaintiff was granted supervisory review in this case after the trial court announced a proposed jury instruction regarding the standard of care applicable to the actions of an emergency vehicle driver, whose ambulance was struck from the rear while parked partially in a lane of an interstate highway. The proposed instruction, like the applicable statute, La. R.S. 32:24(D), lists the standard both in terms of ordinary negligence and gross negligence. Finding error in the trial court’s ruling, we reverse, revise the disputed jury instruction, and remand.
