Motorist’s estate brought wrongful death and personal injury action against county, city, and others, after car being pursued at high speeds by unmarked police vehicles collided with motorist’s car and killed her.
The State Court granted county’s motion to dismiss on sovereign immunity grounds, then, following jury trial, awarded total damages of $500,000 against city. Estate appealed from dismissal of county.
The Court of Appeals held that sovereign immunity waiver for loss arising out of claims for negligent use of covered motor vehicle did not apply to county.
