1Opinion of the Court
HARLINGTON WOOD, Jr., Circuit Judge.
After a one vehicle automobile accident in which Richard Crossley, the driver, was seriously injured, onlookers discovered that one of the axle shafts on his Chevrolet S-10 Blazer was fractured. Crossley sued General Motors, the manufacturer of the Blazer, seeking compensation for his injuries. The central question at trial in this diversity suit in which California law controlled was whether the axle fractured before the crash, constituting the cause of the accident, or as a result of the crash, which was caused by Crossley’s negligence.
