Syllabus

The trial court correctly granted summary judgment to Defendants-appellees, a municipality and a police officer employed by the municipality, regarding an automobile accident between the police officer and Plaintiff-appellant. The trial court, based upon the Civ.R. 56 record, correctly concluded that Plaintiff-appellant did not meet her burden to establish that there is a genuine issue of material fact on the questions of whether the police officer was responding to an emergency call, as this term is statutorily defined, or whether the police officer's operation of the police cruiser was willful, wanton, or reckless. The trial court, accordingly, properly decided that the municipality and the police officer are entitled to immunity regarding the automobile accident. Judgment affirmed.
