Beatty v. Firestone Tire & Rubber Co.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided January 4, 1919 · Brown, Fox, Frazer, Simpson, Walling
263 Pa. 271; 106 A. 303; 1919 Pa. LEXIS 415

Beatty v. Firestone Tire & Rubber Co.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

Under the undisputed facts in this case, set forth in the opinion of the learned court below denying plaintiffs’ motion for a new trial, Dunlap, a chauffeur of the defendant company, was clearly not upon his master’s business, but on business or pleasure purely of his own, when the truck he was driving collided with the automobile in which the appellants were passengers, and the judgment is, therefore, affirmed.
