Lee v. Leone

Superior Court of Pennsylvania
Feb 12, 1982
441 A.2d 761 (Pa. Super. Ct. 1982)

Opinion

Argued October 14, 1981.

Decided February 12, 1982.

Appeal from the Court of Common Pleas, Civil Division, Allegheny County, No. GD 75-17909, Finkelhor, J.

Charles S. Morrow, Pittsburgh, for appellant.

David L. Beck, Pittsburgh, for appellee.

Before WIEAND, JOHNSON and MONTEMURO, JJ.


This is an appeal from an order refusing to remove a compulsory non-suit. Appellant's evidence — or, more correctly, the lack of evidence — was reviewed in an able opinion by the trial court. Our own review of the record causes us to agree that where, as here, the driver of a vehicle enters an intersection against a stop sign and collides with a vehicle which was unseen prior to impact, some additional evidence is required before a jury will be permitted to infer negligence on the part of the other driver. Because that additional evidence was lacking in the instant case, a non-suit was properly entered.

Order affirmed.
