(concurring and dissenting).
I agree that the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is not immune from suit for the torts of its employees, and therefore I concur in the reversal of the order with respect to the Commission. However, I remain of the view, expressed on many occasions,* that sovereign im*495munity is an archaic doctrine productive of little but mischief and injustice. Therefore, I dissent from the affirmance of the order with respect to the Commonwealth,
