Alex, who is employed to the Villa as a driver, one evening during a heavy downpour was proceeding along his regular route to the airport to pick up a guest when he saw his friend, Daniel, waiting at a bus stop. Although he has been instructed not to give lifts to unauthorized passengers, he picked up Daniel and offered to drive him home. Just before reaching Daniel's home, which had necessitated a 3-mile detour from Alex's authorized route, Alex collided with a cow which had been grazing on the side of the road. At the moment of impact, Alex's speed was approximately 80 mph, the speed limit is 30 mph. The cow was killed and Daniel was seriously injured. Moments later, Norman, a learner driver, crashed into the van, injuring Alex who had hitherto been unhurt. Keniesha had been talking on her cellular phone as she drove, and had failed to notice the obstruction in time and collided in the accident causing damage to her brand new sports car. Back at the Villa, Edward who is a known landscaper from the community nearby was asked by Alexia to cut the grass around the Villa. During the process of cutting the grass with a Weed Wacker, several objects caught in the line and flew in the air hitting Dornett the housekeeper in her eyes and Edward as well in his eyes. Both Dornett and Edward had to undergo surgery to remove the pebbles from their eyes. Alexia is extremely worried and now seeks your advice as to all the liabilities arising in this case. Advise her using relevant case laws and IRAC method
