ON APPLICATIONS FOR REHEARING

The original opinion in this case is withdrawn and the following is substituted therefor:

Gary Pugh Realty, Inc. (“Pugh”), appeals from a summary judgment for all defendants. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.

In its complaint, Pugh sought an injunction directing defendants to cease blocking a “public” road and directing that all obstructions be removed therefrom.

An entity may bring an action to prevent the obstruction of a public road where it has suffered damages different in kind and degree from those suffered by the public in general. Williams v. Norton, 399 So.2d 828 (Ala. 1981); Hall v. Polk, 363 So.2d 300 (Ala. 1978); McCullar v. Conner, 287 Ala. 455, 252 So.2d 422 (1971).

The evidence before the trial court showed that a second road, which parallels the alleged “public” road that was allegedly blocked, had been accepted by the county as a public road more than six months before Pugh filed its complaint. The undisputed evidence shows that this second road permits access that is as convenient as that afforded by the alleged “public” road that was allegedly blocked, and that travel over this second road does not force Pugh to take a more circuitous route to the outside world. Pugh, in its brief, concedes that this “might possibly render moot any need for injunctive relief.” We agree that it is rendered moot, and we affirm this aspect of the summary judgment.

Pugh, in its complaint, also sought damages for obstruction of a “public” road. The evidence before the trial court at the time summary judgment was granted showed that Pugh owned property that was connected to Gladden Lane, a public road, by an access road. There was disputed evidence before the trial court at the time the summary judgment was granted as to whether this access road was a public road.1 Pugh contends that the placing of *1306"private road” signs at the point where this access road intersected Gladden Lane, the erection of speed breakers on the access road, the maintenance of a longstanding fence in the access road, and the placing of stakes in the ground in the access road prevented it from selling all of its property at a public auction, which was handled and advertised by J.P. King Auction Company, and has adversely affected the subsequent private sale of that portion of the property not sold at auction. This took place before the new public road was built, dedicated, and accepted by the county.

If the access road was a “public” road, then Pugh’s complaint did state a cause of action. In Goggans v. Myrick, 131 Ala. 286, 292, 31 So. 22, 24 (1901), a case involving obstruction of a public road, this Court wrote the following:

“The inconvenience alleged to have resulted to plaintiff from the obstruction [of a public road] in hindering ingress to and egress from his abutting homestead, was a species of injury which bore peculiarly on him and was a sufficient predicate for an action for his individual reparation, as distinguished from a suit in behalf of the public.”

As noted previously,2 we think that the evidence is sufficiently in conflict to foreclose entry of a summary judgment on the issue of the “public” or “private” nature of the road. In his affidavit, Gary Pugh, the president of Pugh, swore that there was a large piece of wood placed across the road that restricted the use of the road; that posts with strings attached thereto were placed in the road, greatly restricting access to Pugh’s property; and that signs were posted declaring the road to be a private road, discouraging the use of the road. Gary Pugh concluded that all of this had greatly affected the ability of Pugh to rent or sell its property. The defendants presented evidence that the access road was a private road and that Pugh was never denied access to its property.

Pugh in its brief candidly admits that “after trial of all issues presented, Pugh might be unsuccessful in obtaining anything sought within [its] Complaint.”

Nevertheless, our standard of review of a summary judgment for a defendant based on the ground that the defendant has disproved plaintiff’s cause of action is to determine whether the plaintiff has offered some evidence as to every element of the cause of action. Summary judgment for the defendant in such a case is proper only when it clearly appears, with no genuine issue as to any material fact, that, as to some essential element of the cause of action, there is no evidence. See Rule 56(c), Ala.R.Civ.P. In determining whether there is some evidence of every element of a cause of action, this Court must review the record in a light most favorable to the plaintiff and resolve all reasonable doubts against the defendant. Harrell v. Reynolds Metals Co., 495 So.2d 1381 (Ala. 1986); Autrey v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield, 481 So.2d 345 (Ala. 1985).

There was some evidence supporting Pugh’s allegations that the access road was a public road, that it was obstructed by the defendants, and that the obstruction *1307caused a particular economic disadvantage to Pugh different from that caused to the public at large.

We are persuaded that summary judgment as to the claim for damages was not appropriate, when we review the record in a light most favorable to Pugh and resolve all reasonable doubts against the defendants. Therefore, the trial court should not have granted summary judgment on the damages aspect of this case, and the judgment is reversed to that extent.
