In Bouhl v. Smith (1985), 130 Ill. App. 3d 1067, 475 N.E.2d 244, 86 Ill. Dec. 247, the parties were involved in a motor vehicle accident. The citizen driver, Bouhl, was operating a vehicle on a two lane road nearing a "T" intersection. She had come to a stop behind other stopped vehicles. Officer Smith at that time was to the rear of and proceeding in the same direction as Ms. Bouhl. Officer Smith stated he was traveling below the posted speed limit and seeing the line of vehicles stopped, pulled into the oncoming lane of traffic to pass. At that time a vehicle turned onto the road at the intersection thus creating a head-on situation between the vehicle which had just turned and Officer Smith's car. Smith then swerved his squad back into what would be the correct lane for his direction of travel, applied his brakes and slid into the rear of Bouhl's vehicle. The jury found for the Defendant. The Bouhl court, applying the standard set forth in Pedrick v. Peoria & Eastern R.R. (1967), 37 Ill. 2d 494, 229 N.E.2d 504, reversed the trial court's denial of Plaintiff Bouhl's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict and remanded the cause to the trial court with directions to enter a judgment for the Plaintiff on the issue of liability.
