Description

Vivian May, a passenger in a Buick automobile being operated by William Mann on U.S. Highway 61, was killed when the automobile collided with a Ford truck being driven in the opposite direction by Theodore George Bradford while he was attempting to pass a Studebaker automobile operated by Walter Mungle. Bradford and Mann have appealed from a judgment in the amount of $25,000 in favor of Tom May for the wrongful death of his wife. Mann has also appealed from an adverse judgment on his cross-claim for personal injuries entered in favor of Bradford. From the plaintiff's evidence it appears that Mungle drove onto Highway 61 from a county road, turned southward and drove about 30 or 35 miles an hour. Bradford was driving his Ford truck southward on the highway about 60 miles an hour, and when he overtook Mungle he turned out to pass. Mann was driving northward on the highway at approximately 60 miles an hour. There was a ""rise and curve"" in the highway ahead of Mann, and when he drove around the curve he saw the Bradford truck ""go out to pass"" the Mungle Studebaker. The two vehicles were then about a block or 350 to 400 feet ahead of him. Mann ""took to the shoulder"" of the highway and he ""angled off a slight degree"" and applied the brakes. The automobile ""evidently skidded"" and ""something caused it to come back into the highway partially."" When Mann's automobile was skidding at about a 45 degree angle, partly on the northbound lane of the highway and partly on the shoulder, it struck the left side of the truck, spun around counterclockwise, the right door came open, and Mrs. May was thrown out and killed. From the point of impact, which was in the northbound or east lane of the highway, there were tire marks made by Mann's Buick extending back southward 178 feet.
