Description
This is an appeal from a judgment for $7,000 which a jury unanimously awarded respondent, hereinafter called plaintiff, for
personal injuries suffered as a result of a collision at Sarah and Olive Streets in the City of St. Louis, on August 3, 1956,
between a tractor (truck) operated by plaintiff and an automobile driven by appellant, hereinafter referred to as defendant.
The action was originally brought by one Emig, against Auffenberg Auto Sales, Oscar Taylor, Proctor Sales Co., and Francis
Lyons. Lyons filed a cross-claim against Taylor, one of his co-defendants, and, Emig having dismissed his action, this cause
was tried upon the crossclaim. The facts were that plaintiff was operating a cab over engine diesel tractor without trailer attached, on which he had received
delivery that afternoon, and was going from his home at 4326 Maryland Avenue to the Mack Motor Company, which was located
on Chouteau Avenue, to pick up his automobile. He got on Olive Street at Boyle, and was traveling eastwardly. The time of
the collision was between 10:00 P.M. and 11:00 P.M., and it occurred at the intersection of Sarah and Olive Streets. At that
intersection, there are stop signs on all four corners.
