Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal by the plaintiff in a case which arose from a one-car accident that occurred in the early morning hours of July 31, 1980, on Kansas Highway 25 (K-25) seven miles south of Lakin. William T. Rollins (plaintiff-appellant) was a passenger in the back seat of the vehicle, a 1979 Chevrolet Chevette. The accident occurred on a section of highway that was undergoing resurfacing by the Department of Transportation of the State of Kansas (KDOT). Rollins brought suit against KDOT and the Board of County Commissioners of Kearny County, Kansas, alleging failure of KDOT to exercise due care in the design, construction and maintenance of K-25. The Board of County Commissioners was subsequently dismissed from the action. A Sedgwick County District Court jury found the driver of the car sixty-five percent at fault, the plaintiff thirty-five percent at fault, and found no fault on the part of KDOT. Rollins appeals, claiming several errors on the part of the trial court.
