Miller v. Spokane Bakery Co.
Miller v. Spokane Bakery Co.
Opinion of the Court
Action to recover damages for injuries sustained by the respondent wife, as the result of being struck by an automobile truck driven by an employee of appellant. A verdict of $1,000 was returned, and this appeal is taken from the judgment, alleging error in denying motions for nonsuit, for directed verdict, and for judgment notwithstanding verdict.
These motions all raise the question of contributory negligence on the part of Mrs. Miller, and are predicated upon appellant’s contention as to the point in the street where the accident occurred, and as to whether Mrs. Miller was crossing the street at the regular crossing or whether she was
Error is predicated upon two instructions. These claims of error are not discussed in the briefs, nor were they referred to upon the oral argument. We therefore assume counsel for appellant does not now desire to raise any question on the instructions.
Some complaint is also made upon the admission of testimony as to the distance within which the auto truck could be stopped. We find no error here sufficient to reverse the judgment.
The judgment is affirmed.
Mount, Ellis, Parker, and Fullerton, JJ., concur.
