Description
These appeals involve two injury claims arising from an automobile accident on May 26, 1988 in Newton County, Missouri. The accident in question occurred when a westbound pickup truck occupied by Appellant, Lela Jeaneen Slankard (Slankard), 1 and Defendant/Appellant John A. Thomas (Thomas) collided with an eastbound vehicle operated by Wendell Woosley (Woosley). Both Slankard and Thomas were injured, and Woosley died as a result of the collision. Slankard filed suit against both Thomas and Woosley (by his defendant ad litem, Anita Oakes, hereafter referred to as ""Oakes"" or ""Oakes/Woosley"") alleging that she was a passenger in the truck operated by Thomas, and that both he and Woosley were negligent in causing the collision. Thomas later filed a cross-claim against Oakes/Woosley seeking to recover damages for his injuries. Slankard settled her claim against Thomas and executed a release and stipulation for dismissal. Oakes thereafter filed a motion for summary judgment on the theory that the release was a general release which relieved all potential tort-feasors from liability, including Woosley. Slankard appeals, in Case No. 19712, from the trial court's order sustaining that motion.
