Parrish v. Thurman
Parrish v. Thurman
Opinion of the Court
At 9 o’clock on a rainless night in November, the plaintiff sideswiped from the rear the disabled fruit truck of the defendants as it stood some two feet to its right of the center line on the desert highway between Yuma and Holtville. The road stretched away in each direction from the truck, and as the plaintiff approached there was no other vehicle in sight upon the highway in either direction. On the rear of the truck there were two green lights, three red lights and two large reflectors. Why the plaintiff failed to see the truck until too late to avoid striking it does not appear. The evidence, which warranted the jury in finding the facts to be as above indicated, supports the implied finding that the plaintiff was negligent, and that her negligence contributed to the accident.
We find no error in the making of the order denying a new trial. The judgment is affirmed.
York, Acting P. J., and Doran, J., concurred.
