Final answer:

Sarah, an Albany employee, got injured by a pothole repair truck missing a back-up alarm, leading to her suing ACME, KM, and STE for being potentially liable for the product defect that caused her injury.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of your question is related to a legal case where Sarah, an employee of the city of Albany, was injured by a pothole repair truck that lacked a back-up alarm. In this hypothetical scenario, Sarah is suing multiple parties: ACME (the manufacturer of the truck), Keefer Motors (KM) who sold the truck, and Susan's Truck Equipment Co. (STE) who converted the truck for pothole repair purposes. It appears Sarah's injury was caused by a product defect, specifically the absence of a back-up alarm that could have potentially prevented the accident. In a real case, the responsibilities and liabilities of each party would be examined, including whether the truck was unreasonably dangerous for lacking a safety feature that could have prevented Sarah's injuries.
