Intoxication • Motion in Limine • Civil Negligence • Harmless Error
Rohe v. Vinson, PICS Case No. 17-0038 (Pa. Super. Dec. 28, 2016) Gantman, P. J. (26 pages).
Trial court erred in denying motorcyclist’s motion in limine to preclude evidence of his alcohol consumption in his suit arising from a traffic accident because the evidence did not establish a degree of intoxication reasonably demonstrating motorcyclist’s unfitness to drive and the admission of the testimony was not harmless error. Reversed and remanded.
