Single car accident. In Romero v. Brenes, No. 1504 September Term 2008 the Maryland Court of Special Appeals held that there was sufficient evidence produced at trial to present the issues to the jury for deliberation. The case involved a small car being operated at approximately 60 miles per hour (twenty miles over the speed limit), traveling in the curb lane striking the curb, losing control and going across the highway striking a pole and killing a passenger. In this case the trial court granted a motion to dismiss for the defendant. The appellate court held that either the speed, res ipsa loquitor or unexplained loss of control would have been sufficient for the case to be determined by a jury and the dismissal was improper. The case was reversed and remanded for trial.
