Gen. No. 9,310. (Abstract of Decision.)
Opinion filed February 24, 1942 Rehearing denied May 5, 1942
AUTOMOBILES AND MOTOR VEHICLES, § 111 — lack of observation as cause of accident. Where there was testimony that the plaintiff, a bridge tender, on the approach of a boat turned on warning lights and sounds, carried a red flag, and, as he was closing a latticed gate across the driveway of the bridge, the defendant approached within 40 feet of the gate before she saw him and then applied her brakes and skidded into the gate, to plaintiff's injury, there was ample evidence to justify verdict of the jury for plaintiff on question of due care on his part and negligence on part of defendant.
