Gen. No. 9,303. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed February 24, 1942
AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 136.3 — negligence of defendant as proximate cause of injury by third party. Where plaintiff was riding in an automobile in the rear of defendant's truck and the truck swung crossways on the highway in a turn-around effort and then moved forward as an oncoming car was passing the truck, the defendant might reasonably have anticipated that his action would cause the oncoming car to get on the shoulder of the highway, which was wet and slippery, and skid into the car in which plaintiff was riding, to her injury, and the jury was warranted in finding that the connection between the conduct of the defendant and the collision was unbroken and that the proximate cause of the injury was the negligence of the defendant.
