Supreme Court dismisses appeal on whether a fire caused by a truck's exhaust pipe constitutes a traffic accident under the Traffic Accident Liability Act.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the appeal regarding whether a fire originating from a parked truck's exhaust pipe constituted a traffic accident under the Traffic Accident Liability Act. The plaintiff argued that the fire was caused by the truck's operation, while the defendant contended the fire was an independent event unrelated to traffic usage. The court held that the fire's origin from a stationary vehicle's exhaust did not meet the statutory definition of a traffic accident involving the use of a vehicle in traffic.
