A motorist reported to FHP a flatbed truck that was stalled at night in a lane of the Palmetto Expressway. FHP allegedly failed to respond to this report. Suzanne Leeds was driving a car that struck the flatbed, killing her and her passenger Elissa Pollack. Their estates sued and won judgments of more than $8.9 million each, with FHP 50 percent liable for the total amount. The Third District Court reversed.
