NICHOLSON v. KRECZMER

Automobile Injuring Pedestrian — Evidence — Directed Verdict.

In an action for injury to a pedestrian when he was struck by defendant's truck, while crossing on a foggy night, at a street intersection, at the regular place for pedestrians, held that a verdict was properly directed for defendant, there being no evidence of the movement of the truck before the collision, that it was driven fast or otherwise improperly, or that it was lacking in lights, the mere fact of a collision at a crossing on a foggy night being insufficient to justify a finding of negligence.

Decided May 23rd, 1940.

BOND, C.J., delivered the opinion of the Court.
