Thomas v. Waters

Goolsby, Judge:

Margie Carolyn Thomas brought this wrongful death and survival action for the death of her son, Keith Dargan Oliver, against David Ray Waters, Sprott Oil Company, and Kimberly Lynn Jennings. The trial court granted summary judgment to the respondents. Thomas appeals. We affirm.

In 1992, Oliver and Jennings were occupants in a van which collided with a truck owned by the Sprott Oil Company and driven by Waters. The truck struck the passenger side of the van at approximately 50 miles per hour and caused the van to turn over. Jennings survived the accident; Oliver did not.
