Description
In 1970 Allen Ostergar died from injuries suffered in an automobile accident on State Highway 26 near Blackfoot, Idaho. Ostergar
owned the Dodge van in which he was riding, but it was being driven by Joseph Gooch, who also died as a result of the accident.
The collision occurred when the van was driven into the rear of a pickup truck that had been stopped on the highway by the
flagman of a State Department of Highways repair crew. The crew was under the immediate supervision of their foreman, James
F. Mansfield. The surviving heirs of Ostergar originally brought an action against several parties[Footnote 1] alleging liability for the
death of Ostergar. Mansfield was among those defendants. The complaint alleged that he wantonly and willingly failed to move
the appropriate warning signs up the highway as the work progressed. Thus, the complaint continued, the accident occurred
due to Mansfield's gross negligence in failing to warn adequately the oncoming drivers.
