Granted. Judgment of the court of appeal is reversed. We find that the chain-of-custody objection was properly preserved for appellate review. The case is remanded to the court of appeal to determine whether defendants laid a proper foundation for admission of the blood-alcohol test results and to reconsider the apportionment of fault between the parties.

LEMMON, J., would grant the writ for argument.
