The above numbered and entitled matter was consolidated for trial in the district court and on appeal with Robinson and Menier v.

The sole issue in this appeal concerns the liability of the Louisiana Department of Highways. For the reasons assigned in the companion case which bears our docket number 6219 we affirm the trial court’s determination that the Louisiana Department of Highways was free from negligence. Appellants are cast for all costs on appeal.
