Adams, Judge.
After consuming red wine at the Crisp County Watermelon Festival gala event located at Pine Hills Country Club, newspaper reporter Michele Yawn attempted to drive home. On her way, she inexplicably stopped on a state highway facing oncoming traffic and turned off her lights. A car driven by Heather Katrina Wright collided with Yawn’s car, killing Yawn and seriously injuring Wright. Wright brought suit against various parties, and she now appeals the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the country club and Yawn’s employer.
