Description
The action is tort for personal injuries received in an automobile accident, and the case is here on plaintiffs exceptions. At the time of the accident, and for some days before, the parties together with several others were employed on a highway construction job hauling gravel in auto-trucks. At the place where the accident occurred the highway runs north and south, descends to the south, and is very winding. Defendant was going north with a load of gravel; plaintiff was traveling in the opposite direction with an empty truck. Plaintiff testified that when he first saw defendant they were 65 to 75 feet apart; that his truck was then traveling 15 to 20 miles an hour and that he "was braking it a little bit for the corner;" that on account of the curve in the highway he did not discover that defendants truck was on his (plaintiffs) side of the highway until he got within 45 to 50 feet of it, when he applied his brakes as hard as he could but was unable to stop before reaching it; that he turned as far to the right as possible but that the hub cap of his left front wheel hit defendants left rear wheel and disabled his car so that he could not control it and it went over the bank on his left about 60 feet south of the point of collision.
