HUSPENI, Judge
(concurring in part, dissenting in part)
I concur in sections II, III, IV and V of the majority’s analysis. However, I believe that under the facts of this matter the question of Stroman’s negligence was for the jury to determine. Gertken v. Farmers Elevator of Kensington, Minn., Inc., 411 N.W.2d 550, 554 (Minn.Ct.App.1987), pet. for rev. denied (Minn. Oct. 28, 1987). Whether the trial court committed reversible error when it failed to answer the jury’s inquiry regarding the phrase “at the time of the accident” is a close question. However, I conclude I must join the majority in its analysis of the impact of this issue standing alone.
I would affirm the trial court in all respects.
