The driver of a tanker truck was transporting radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant to a permanent storage facility in a remote western region of the united states. after driving all night, the driver fell asleep at the wheel and the truck crossed over the center line, off the road, and onto a homeowner's property, coming to rest after crashing into several glass cases containing the homeowner's collection of poisonous snakes, the keeping of which was permitted by local ordinance. when the driver exited the truck, he was bitten on the leg by one of the poisonous snakes and became seriously ill. the driver brought an action against the homeowner for his injuries. the parties stipulated to the above facts, and that the driver violated a state statute by driving off of the road. both parties moved for judgment as a matter of law on the liability issue. how should the court rule? a grant the driver's motion and deny the homeowner's motion, because the homeowner is strictly liable for the injury caused by the snake. b deny the driver's motion and grant the homeowner's motion, because the driver was a trespasser on the homeowner's property. c deny the driver's motion and grant the homeowner's motion, because the driver's violation of the state statute establishes contributory negligence as a matter of law. d deny both parties' motions, because both parties were engaged in an activity for which strict liability is imposed.
