2178 REVIEW DENIED Intervening conduct is a superseding cause of harm and relieves a previous actor of liability for negligence if it was unforeseeable that the intervening conduct would occur, or if the risk of harm was not foreseeable, or if the reasonable person would have found the intervening conduct extraordinary and not a normal consequence of the situation created by the initial actor's negligence.
