Sterba's son, Scott A. Beecham, was struck and killed by a pickup
driven by defendant Tommy L. Jay, an employee of defendant W.B.

street maintenance worker for the City of Wichita. On December
22, 1987, Beecham and a fellow worker, Michael Keeling, were
"cold patching" potholes on K-42 highway. Keeling was driving a
city dump truck, using six yellow flashers, two located on top of
the truck and four on the rear of the truck, as warning devices
while they were cold patching. The dump truck had just stopped in
the curb lane of the four-lane highway a few feet in front of the
area to be cold patched. Beecham exited the right side of the
truck and proceeded to the back of the truck to begin cold
patching. He was wearing an orange caution jacket and a green
