Scott v. State, Department of Transportation & Development

BLANCHE, Justice,

dissents from denial with reasons:

I would grant this writ to examine the issue of the driver’s contributory negligence. In my view, the presence of a drop off does not automatically render such a defect as the principal cause of the accident. See LeBlanc v. State, 419 So.2d 853 (La.1982) (Blanche, J., dissenting); Sinitiere v. Lavergne, 391 So.2d 821 (La.1980).
