Dissenting Opinion

ANSTEAD, Chief Judge,

dissenting:

Although the facts of this case strongly suggest that either the appellant, Robert Gordon, or the motorist that rear-ended him was responsible for the accident in question, I believe that a reasonable juror could conclude that the city firemen, who were soliciting donations in the street, were also partly responsible for the accident. For that reason I would reverse the entry of summary judgment in favor of the firemen.
