Description
This action was filed November 16, 1976, against the New Mexico State Highway Commission, the Board of Commissioners of Sierra County, and their two insurance carriers. The complaint sought recovery of damages under the former version of the New Mexico Tort Claims Act [hereinafter Act], enacted by Ch. 58, ? 1, 1976 N.M. Laws 159 as amended by Ch. 386, ? 1, 1977 N.M. Laws 2772 [?? 5-14-1, et seq. N.M.S.A. 1953 (Inter. Supp. 1976-1977)] for personal injuries suffered by the plaintiffs when their vehicle plunged into a crevasse created by a wash-out of a highway in Sierra County. The complaint alleged the negligence of the Highway Commission and the Board of Commissioners in maintaining the culvert, highway and roadway on or about September 14, 1976, when the highway washed away causing the accident. The two named insurance carriers filed motions to dismiss the complaint as to them for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The motions were granted and the plaintiffs appeal.
