Motion for summary judgment Civ.R. 56(C) motor vehicle collision public duty doctrine emergency call doctrine R.C. 2744.02. Plaintiffs brought this action to recover damages that they incurred after a motor vehicle collision with an on-duty trooper. The court found that because plaintiffs did not offer any evidence contrary to defendants' assertion that the trooper was responding to an emergency call at the time of the collision and plaintiffs did not plead willful or wanton misconduct, defendants were entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Therefore, defendants' motion for summary judgment was granted and judgment was entered in favor of defendants.
