Opinion:
DOWNEY, Chief Judge.
Appellee sued appellant, The Florida Department of Transportation, and others for wrongful death arising out of design and maintenance of a highway intersection in Broward County, Florida. The trial court denied appellant's motion to dismiss the complaint against it based upon improper venue. That order is the subject of this appeal.
We reverse upon authority of Carlile v. Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, 354 So.2d 362 (Fla.1977), and remand the case with directions to transfer the cause to the Circuit Court of Leon County.
REVERSED AND REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.
CROSS and ANSTEAD, JJ., concur.
