    Answer:was unforeseeable.

    Explanation:intervening force are forces which makes the injury of tbe plaintiff worse

    dependent intervening forces and,

    independent intervening forces.

    This is a normal response by third person due to defendant's negligence. This forces occurs directly and are considered foreseeable and can't excuse a defendant from being liable.

    The example of dependent intervening forces:

    checking forces,

    rescue forces,

    escape forces and,

    other response forces.

    This for example when a plaintiff get worse after they have received a careless medical treatment from the defendant.

    An independent intervening force also a person will be liable for only the aspects of foreseeable aspect of the incident cause it does not come from a direct response to the negligence

    What ever someone could have not foreseen can not be liable for that part.
