This is a personal injury case arising from an incident in which Teresa Sneath was injured when she drove her automobile into waters flooding a road in Ellsworth County. Sneath filed a negligence lawsuit against the county’s board of commissioners and highway department. The district court granted the Defendants’ motion to dismiss, however, ruling that they were immune from liability under K.S.A. 75-6104(l), because Sneath’s damages were caused by the natural condition of a flooded street and not by any negligent affirmative act by the governmental defendants. Sneath appeals. Finding no error, we affirm the district court’s dismissal of the lawsuit.
