AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 117.2^_ — truck parked on highway, as negligence. Plaintiff was properly awarded judgment for damages to his automobile, where defendant's truck was parked in the highway lane beyond the crest of a hill, without flares, while truck drivers attempted to extricate a car which had slipped off the road, and melting snow made highway slippery so that plaintiff's car did not stop on hill when he applied his brakes, but ran into the rear of the parked truck.
