Ryder Integrated Logistics, Inc. v. Fayette County (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseThis case arose from the deadly collision of two eighteen-wheeled commercial trucks. Petitioner filed this third-party claim against Fayette County, alleging that the collision was caused by a County deputy sheriff. Petitioner sought redress pursuant to Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code 101.021, which provides a waiver of governmental immunity when an injury “arises from the operation or use” of a vehicle by a government employee. The trial court sustained the County’s plea to the jurisdiction, concluding that the county remained immune from suit because the accident did not arise from a government employee’s vehicle use. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that Petitioner alleged an injury arising from a deputy sheriff’s vehicle use for the purpose of section 101.021.
