Outcome
The court reversed the trial court's judgment as a matter of law and remanded for a new trial on whether the police officer was grossly negligent during an emergency pursuit that resulted in the plaintiff's injuries. The court held that as a matter of law, the officer was on an emergency run, so gross negligence (rather than ordinary negligence) is the applicable standard.
