Opinion filed April 19, 1945 Released for publication May 2, 1945
AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 167.1 — review of findings of fact. In suit for damages to automobiles, resulting from collision between two cars thereby also damaging another car parked at curb, where owner-driver of one car sued other owner-driver, and owner of parked vehicle sued both of them for damages to his car, where it appeared that driver of one vehicle, to avoid collision, could have stopped car within five feet at rate of speed at which he was travelling but, instead, accelerated his speed, which was proximate cause of accident, held that judgment for owner of parked car should be affirmed, and that judgment of not guilty in suit by owner-driver against other owner-driver should be affirmed, since reviewing court will not disturb findings of fact unless they, are clearly and manifestly against weight of evidence.
