The Roanoke County woman's parked car was hit by a Salem fire truck, and so
far she has gotten nowhere with her claim for damages.
The law gives cities immunity for such things when providing legitimate
governmental services.
Anderson's 1995 Grand Prix was sideswiped while she was attending her
daughter's graduation earlier this month at Roanoke College.
The fire truck was responding to an emergency call.
