Question
Seth is a delivery driver for Pizza Shack. One day while on a delivery, Seth decides to stop by his girlfriend's house on the way back to work. She lives 7 blocks out of the way, but Seth didn't think his manager would notice him being gone for a few extra minutes. While pulling into his girlfriend's driveway, Seth speeds out of control and runs into Suzy, a four year old girl playing in her yard next door. Suzy's parents sue Seth and Pizza Shack. Pizza Shack will likely be:
 
 

1) 

 not liable if Seth's visit to his girlfriend constituted a "frolic" of his own and an abandonment of Pizza Shack's business.
 

2) 

 liable because Seth was intending to serve some purpose of his employer by driving fast.
 

3) 

 liable because Seth was working at the time of the incident.
 

4) 

 not liable because Pizza Shack did not give Seth express consent to hit Suzy.
