POPOVICH, Chief Judge
(concurring specially).
I concur in the result and with the special concurring opinions of Judge Forsberg and Judge Nierengarten.
It may very well be that the injuries did in fact arise out of the use and maintenance of the automobile. The trial court did not address that issue and chose to determine that the injuries were not caused by “an accident.” I agree with the trial court that the incident was not an accident as required by the policy.
The Minnesota Supreme Court has not yet held that the question of accidental causation should be considered from the point of view of the injured party.
