Harris v. State

In Harris v. State (1986), 39 Ill. Ct. Cl. 176, Claimant's two semi-trailer trucks were involved in a rear-end collision with each other as they approached a State snowplow in the process of snow removal. The amber beacon light on the snowplow was operating at the time of the accident. The court concluded that the accident was caused by the negligence of the drivers for failure to watch the traffic, drive more slowly and keep a proper distance between vehicles. Harris v.
