OPINION BY

STEVENS, P.J.

This is an appeal from the order entered by the Court of Common Pleas of York County granting Appellee/Defendant’s motion for summary judgment and dismissing Appellant’s personal injury claim. The *1025question before us asks whether the court erroneously deemed Appellant either a “named insured” or, in the alternative, an “insured” under her fiancé’s automotive insurance policy, as those terms are defined in the Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law, such that she was bound by his election of the limited tort alternative therein. We vacate and remand.
