No government is liable for the negligence of its employees in the absence of a statute making it liable for such negligence. (Gibbon v. U. S., 8 Wal. 268; Minear v. State Board of Agriculture, 259 Ill. 549; Hollenbeck v. Winnebago Co., 95 Ill. 148.) If the injury complained of was caused by the negligence of the driver of the truck, claimant\u2019s remedy is against the driver and not against the State. (Cooney v. Town of Hartland, 95 Ill. 516.)\nThe claim is therefore denied and the case dismissed.",
