Description
This is a collision case, and the plaintiff grounded his cause of action on the negligence of the defendant and alleged that he sustained damages to his car in the amount of $400. Defendant went to trial on his first amended answer and cross action and denied that he was negligent in any respect. On the contrary, he alleged that the plaintiff was negligent, and as a result of the plaintiffs negligence, he sustained damages in the sum of $415 and prayed for appropriate relief. The jury, in its verdict, found substantially (1 and 2) that defendant failed to keep that lookout which would have been kept by a person of ordinary prudence in the exercise of ordinary care under the same or similar circumstances and that such failure was a proximate cause of the collision; (3, 4 and 5) that defendant drove his automobile to the left of the center of the street and that his act in so driving was negligence, and was a proximate cause of the collision; (6, 8 and 11) that Janice Battreall, the driver of plaintiffs car, did not fail to keep that lookout which would have been kept by a person of ordinary prudence in the exercise of ordinary care under the same or similar circumstances and that she did not fail to bring her automobile to a stop at the stop sign on Bonham Street before entering the intersection of Bonham and Travis Streets, and that she did not fail to timely apply her brakes; (14) that Janice Battreall did not operate her car across the center line of Travis Street into the east bound traffic lane on Travis Street.
