D.J., by and through his Next Friend, R.J. v. First Student, Inc.

Summary

The court held that the unidentified driver's criminal and highly unexpected conduct was an intervening and superseding cause that became the proximate cause of D.J.'s injuries. Because D.J. therefore failed to present evidence supporting proximate cause against First Student, the circuit court should have granted JNOV. The judgment was vacated and the case remanded for entry of judgment in First Student's favor.
