HOFFMAN, Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent.
In the recent decision of Andert v. Fuchs (1979), Ind., 394 N.E.2d 9311 the Supreme Court held that evidence showing that the defendant drove his pickup truck on icy, slick and wet roads while he was intoxicated was insufficient to give rise to an inference of wanton or wilful misconduct.
I fail to see that the evidence of the conditions under which Kerbs operated his vehicle established a degree of misconduct greater than that shown in Andert.
Accordingly, I would hold that the trial court properly granted Kerbs’ motion for judgment on the evidence.

. Vacating Andert v. Fuchs (1978), Ind.App., 381 N.E.2d 1081.
