1Opinion of the Court
BRIGHTMIRE, Presiding Judge.
A fast traveling eighteen wheeler crashed into the rear of another one as it headed down the divided highway on a clear summer afternoon. The tractor of the rear-ending truck, owned by defendant Ellex Transportation, Inc., was demolished, and damage to the forward semitrailer truck cost $7,872.38 to repair. The two drivers occupying the leading truck brought this action to recover for personal injuries. Their employer, Lee Way Motor Freight, Inc., intervened seeking recovery of what it had paid out for property damage and workers’ compensation.
