Court of Appeals of Georgia June 1, 2001, A01A0219 (Pfeiffer v. Department of Transportation)

Ruffin, Judge.

This appeal stems from a tragic highway construction accident which caused the death of Robert Allen Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer’s surviving spouse (“Pfeiffer”) sued the Georgia Department of Transportation (“DOT”), alleging that the accident was caused by DOT’s negligence. The trial court granted DOT’s motion for summary judgment, and Pfeiffer appeals. For reasons that follow, we affirm.
