Dellorto v. State

In Dellorto v. State (1979), 32 Ill. Ct. Cl. 435, a car driven by another party went off the road. The other party failed to slow his vehicle to get back on the highway safely and went into the opposite lane, causing the deaths of the Claimant's decedents. The Court found that, while the State may have furnished a dangerous condition, the negligence of the other party in going off the highway and onto the shoulder for no justifiable reason, and the negligent manner in which he tried to get back on the highway, was the sole, proximate cause of the accident.
