Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by The plaintiff, Orville P. Abston, brings this action against
Medora Grain, Inc., and its employees, Edward L. Elliott and
Frank O. Hoffman, who together will be designated as defendants,
to recover damages sustained in an accident occurring at the
junction of U.S. Highway 50 and County Road 811 west of Newton.
Judgment was recovered against the three defendants and all have
appealed. Briefly summarized, the evidence discloses that about 9:30 p.m.
the appellee, Abston, to whom we shall refer as plaintiff, was
driving his Oldsmobile car west on U.S. 50, accompanied by a
friend, when a truck loomed up about 250 to 300 feet ahead
standing diagonally across the intersection, and headed in a
northwesterly direction. The plaintiff began to pump his brakes
and attempted to pass around the truck to the north or right-hand
side, but his car went into a skid, causing it to strike a
guardrail at the northwest corner of the intersection, whence it
plummeted into a creek bed below.
