Description
The issue before this Court is whether the statutory privilege set forth in 3754(b) of the Motor Vehicle Code, 75 Pa.C.S. 101 et seq., justified the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Transportation (Penn DOT) in moving to quash a subpoena secured by appellee Gerald S. Taylor, which sought Penn DOT accident reports, safety studies, and accident investigations for the purpose of preparing his defense in a criminal prosecution. The courts below construed the privilege not according to its plain language, but in a narrower fashion dictated by the courts view of the statutes alleged purpose. So construed, the courts held that the statutory privilege did not extend to the request made by Taylor. For the reasons set forth below, we reverse the order of the Superior Court and quash the subpoena.
