Brown v. Armstrong
Brown v. Armstrong
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
This is another claim for damages suffered in that motor vehicle accident which we have this day dealt with in the case of Brown v. Wallace, ante, page 570, 35 S. E. (2d) 793. These cases were tried in the same court on different days and before different juries. B. D. Armstrong, W. D. Armstrong and C. Earl Armstrong, trading as Armstrong Bus Lines, hereinafter referred to as the plaintiffs,' were the owners of the bus involved in the collision.
The testimony of witnesses who appeared in both cases.. is substantially the same, except for some minor discrepan
A state police officer also testified that immediately after the accident he checked all of. the traffic lights and that the green and amber were working for west bound traffic on Route 13.
The assignments of error in the companion case, omitting those relating to the alleged improper argument of counsel for plaintiff, the alleged misconduct of jurors, and to the amount of damages awarded, are the same as those here. What we have said with reference to them in Brown v. Wallace, supra, applies and controls here.
The damage to the bus amounted to $2,900, according to the jury’s verdict. The trial court has approved that verdict. We find no error in the proceedings of the trial court and accordingly its judgment is-affirmed.
Affirmed.
