Description
At the time of the accident giving rise to this litigation, the vehicle in which plaintiff was riding was traveling in a westerly direction on the highway during hours of darkness. Defendant-Companys truck-trailer combination, after stopping five feet north thereof, pulled onto the highway in a left-hand turn to proceed in an easterly direction. The truck had crossed the center line and was substantially parallel thereto with the trailer still extending diagonally across the westbound traffic lane, with its rear end only approximately three and one-half feet from the north edge of the highways oiled surface, when the trailer was struck on its right side by a pickup vehicle driven by a Mr. Grieve. The truck driver immediately stopped his equipment, jumped from the left side of the cab, and quickly went to the rear of the trailer behind which he was forced to jump to avoid being struck by a car driven by a Mr. Raab, approaching from the east, the Raab car striking the left-rear outside wheel of the trailers left-rear tandem. Following this second collision, a car coming from the east, in which plaintiff was a passenger, and being driven by a Mr. Evans, also struck the trailer, colliding with the left-front outside wheel of the trailers left-rear tandem, the latter collision inflicting injury upon plaintiff for which she sought recovery from both the trucking company and Evans. The case was tried to a jury which returned verdict for the defendant trucking company, and plaintiff appeals.
