Plain ex rel. Plain v. Crosson
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 13, 1988 · Ervin, Wentworth, Zehmer
532 So. 2d 69; 13 Fla. L. Weekly 2324; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 4568; 1988 WL 105204 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Plain ex rel. Plain v. Crosson

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The issue here is whether jurisdiction over the non-resident defendants exists, pursuant to Section 48.171, Florida Statutes, which requires that the civil action be one “arising out of or by reason of any accident or collision occuring within the state in which the motor vehicle [owned by defendant] is involved.” We cannot say, from our examination of the record, that the civil action pleaded did not meet the *70above statutory test for long-arm jurisdiction.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

ERVIN, WENTWORTH and ZEHMER, JJ., concur.
