HERNANDEZ, Judge (dissenting). I respectfully dissent. In my opinion the trial court erred in granting the third party defendant, David E. Hibler’s motion for summary judgment. There were several issues of material fact about which reasonable minds could differ and were for the jury to resolve, to-wit: (1) Did the defendant, Hibler, run out of gas; (2) was the defendant, Hibler, negligent if he did in fact run out of gas; (3) if the defendant, Hibler, was negligent was his negligence the proximate cause of the injury to the plaintiff; (4) was the defendant, Silver, contributorily negligent; (5) if the defendant, Silver, was negligent was his negligence the sole proximate cause of the injury to the plaintiff. The law on the subject is so well established that the citation of authority is not necessary.
