A truck driver is operating a brand-new 18-wheel tractor-trailer rig at a lawful speed on an interstate highway. The spare tire under the rig breaks free, bounces, then caroms into a nearby subcompact car which was also moving at a lawful rate of speed. The driver of the subcompact car sues the truck driver, the truck driver's employer, and the owner of the leased 18-wheel rig for negligence in securing the spare tire properly. At trial, evidence is introduced that the cradle holding the spare tire showed no signs of damage or wear. The truck driver testified that chains had been wrapped around the spare tire to hold it even tighter to the cradle. After the lawyer for the car driver has presented all the evidence used to support the car driver's case, counsel for the defendant moved for dismissal on the grounds that the plaintiff had failed to show sufficient evidence that the defendants breached a duty of care. Would you expect the court to grant his motion? Why or why not?
