In Reidy v. State (1975), 31 Ill. Ct. Cl. 16, the Court denied liability because the evidence failed to indicate prior knowledge of flooding by State officials. In that case, numerous witnesses called by the Respondent indicated that there had never been any actual notice of water on the roadway on the date of the accident. In addition, there was no prior notice or knowledge of water accumulating at the scene of the accident. This evidence was very strong that the State had no notice, either actual or constructive, of water accumulating at the scene of that accident.
