Jenkins v. City of Alexandria
Supreme Court of Louisiana
Jenkins v. City of Alexandria, 328 So. 2d 105 (La. 1976)
1976 La. LEXIS 5435
Calogero, Grant, Refusal, Tate, Writ
Jenkins v. City of Alexandria
Opinion of the Court
In re: Glenn Jenkins, applying for Cer-tiorari, or writ of review, to the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, Parish of Rapides, 324 So.2d 924.
Writ denied. The result is correct.
Dissenting Opinion
dissents: The City’s violation of its duty to maintain the visibility of the stop sign was the proximate cause of the accident. As against the city which created the risk, the motorist’s conduct in proceeding into the intersection does not bar his recovery. The trial court’s determination of his freedom from negligence is not manifestly erroneous.
