Description

ALMON, JUSTICE. The plaintiff appeals from a summary judgment for a defendant 1 in a personal injury action. Dana Joseph Hollis, 16 years of age at the time, severely injured his head, back, and spinal column while trespassing on the property of Norfolk Southern Railway Company, Inc., in St. Clair County. Dana's father, Wayne Hollis, individually and as next friend of Dana, brought this action against Norfolk Southern, alleging negligence in its failure to install a fence and to place ""no trespassing"" signs around the area where Dana fell. The plaintiff contended that the ""cut"" or cliff from which Dana fell was an artificial condition, that Dana was a child trespasser, and that Norfolk Southern had an extended duty to protect child trespassers, such as Dana, against attractive nuisances, such as the plaintiff says this cut presented.
