Heading: younglove's cross-appeal

Text: The issue raised by Decker and Younglove's cross-appeal depends on Prime's culpability as a negligent tort-feasor concerning the collision in which Trooper Nesbitt was injured. As a consequence of our disposition of Prime's appeal, namely, a new trial, Prime's negligence regarding the collision is yet to be determined. Without a determination that Prime's conduct was negligence and a proximate cause of the collision which injured Trooper Nesbitt, the issue of contribution from Prime cannot be determined. Therefore, the district court's judgment regarding Prime's liability for contribution on the Nesbitt claim is reversed and remanded for disposition dependent on the new trial ordered on Prime's cause of action. REVERSED AND REMANDED FOR A NEW TRIAL. GRANT, J., participating on briefs.
