Sellers v. Abington Twp., PICS Case No. 13-1253 (Pa. Commw. June 5, 2013) Leadbetter, J.; Leavitt, J., dissenting (33 pages).
In this matter of first impression, there was no duty of care to passengers whose existence, or whose connection to the driver and the conduct for which he was being pursued, was unknown to the officer; because there was no duty of care, summary judgment was appropriate as a matter of law. Affirmed.
