Gen. No. 42,076. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed June 19, 1942
AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 117.6 — sufficiency of evidence of negligent injury to pedestrian. Where plaintiff was out in the street a ways preparing to cross over at a point not a cross walk and she saw a car under the control of defendant's servant stopped near the curb, and in parking, defendant's car was backed up on her without warning to her injury, as to a contention that plaintiff was not in the exercise of due care for her own safety, a verdict of the jury in favor of the plaintiff was not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
