“An intervening cause is a new and independent force which so interrupts the chain of events as to become the responsible, direct, proximate and immediate cause of the injury, rendering any prior negligence too remote to operate as the proximate cause.” (citation omitted). It may not consist of an act of concurring or contributory negligence. Moreover, it may not be one which is itself a forseeable and natural result of the original negligence. Schaffer, 822 S.W.2d at 877.
