Answer:

No, because the delivery van striking the trooper was the actual cause of his injuries.

Explanation:

The state trooper will not prevail against the tractor trailer driver. This is because tractor trailer was not the actual cause for the injuries of the trooper. It was the deliver van which skid on the icy road and hit the trooper and which made him injured.

It was when the trooper went to respond to the accident of the tractor trailer that the delivery van approached the icy bridge and strike the trooper.

Thus the answer is No.

zavuch27 [327]
