Torts — Negligence — Automobile accident — Count of complaint alleging negligent hiring, training, supervision, and entrustment of at-fault truck driver by employing company is dismissed — Claims based on company’s own negligence are precluded since both plaintiff and company assert that driver’s conduct was within course and scope of his employment, direct negligence claims are duplicative of vicarious liability claims, and complaint lacks allegations required to state cause of action for direct negligence claims
