Description
Action for $22,500 damages for personal injuries. Verdict and judgment were for defendant. This case arose from an automobile collision which occurred August 23, 1961, in the uncontrolled intersection of East and Clinton Streets in Lathrop, Missouri. East Street is a north and south street 26 feet wide, sloping downhill northwardly prior to, at, and beyond the intersection; Clinton Street is an east and west street 34 feet wide, sloping uphill westwardly prior to, at, and beyond the intersection. Both streets are made of asphalt, and they were dry. Appellant was driving a 1959 Ford pickup truck north on East Street; respondent was driving a 1954 Ford automobile west on Clinton. The vehicles collided in the northeast quarter of the intersection, the front of respondent's car striking the middle of the right-hand side of appellant's truck. A state highway patrolman found debris at the east edge of the intersection in the middle of respondent's side of Clinton Street. There were skid marks which began just east of the debris and continued on west to respondent's car where it came to rest in collision with a dirt bank on the west side of the intersection. The pickup truck was turned over and appellant was thrown from it to her injury.
