Syllabus

This case arose out of a two-vehicle collision that resulted in the plaintiff, Eunique Williams, sustaining severe bodily injuries when one of the automobiles involved struck her while she was standing at her post as a crossing guard. The plaintiff appealed from the Superior Court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Rick M. Ford, a co-defendant. The plaintiff argued that the hearing justice erred when he concluded that there were no genuine issues of material fact in dispute. The Supreme Court held that summary judgment was inappropriately granted because genuine issues of material fact remained in dispute.
