In the early morning hours of April 19, 2010, Chantel Jobes was driving a vehicle alone and left the southbound lane of Highway 11, crossed the northbound lane and crashed into a concrete railroad trestle. Jobes was seriously injured and filed a lawsuit against the Norfolk Southern Railway Co.<\/a>, the Mississippi Transportation Commission<\/a> and the Mississippi Department of Transportation. The trial judge denied the defendants\u2019 motion for summary judgment. The Supreme Court of Mississippi granted the defendants\u2019 request for an interlocutory appeal and that court entered summary judgment in their favor.<\/p>\n

Jobes was working at TGI Fridays<\/a> in Hattiesburg<\/a>, Miss., when she started her shift as the manager at 4 p.m. on April 18, 2010. She finished her shift at approximately 1:30 a.m. the morning of April 19 and then went directly to a 24\/7 gym nearby to work out, which was her normal routine. After about an hour at the gym, she headed to a friend\u2019s house to celebrate his birthday. She does not remember the party, but her friends told her that she \u201cdidn\u2019t want to finish the cocktail drink [she] had,\u201d and she wanted to go home.<\/p>\n

Jobes left the birthday party and drove toward her home. The crash described above occurred about 4:42 a.m. on April 19. The weather was clear and dry, and the crash injuries were life-threatening. Jobes was driving with a suspended license and was legally intoxicated and also had prescription anti-anxiety medication in her system. Jobes testified at her deposition that she had worked 3 straight weeks without a day off up until the crash. She could not remember a time when she had been more stressed.<\/p>\n
