Dissenting Opinion by
Judge Palladino:
.1 respectfully dissent.
Officer Bush’s operation of the motor vehicle did not cause the injury suffered by the plaintiff, Denise Marie Dickens, in this case. Dickens’ injury was caused when a motor vehicle operated by John Scott Horner struck Dickens’ motor vehicle. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court made clear in Mascaron. Youth Study Center, 514 Pa. 351, 523 A.2d 1118 (1987), that an injury actually caused by a third party will not subject a local agency or *232its employees to liability, even if a common law negligence action has been stated.
