A car driver was hit by a pickup truck driver and suffered severe injuries. The car driver properly sued the truck driver in federal court for negligence, based on diversity jurisdiction, claiming the truck driver ran a red light. The truck driver defended on the grounds that the car driver was contributorily negligent for speeding, which under the applicable law would completely bar the car driver's claim. The case went to trial, where all issues were vigorously litigated by the parties. The jury returned a verdict for the truck driver, specifically finding that the car driver was negligent for speeding. Thereafter, a passenger who was riding with the truck driver filed a diversity claim for negligence in federal court against the car driver for personal injuries from the same accident. The passenger wants to preclude the car driver from relitigating the question of whether the car driver was negligent. How will the court likely rule
