Description
This case involves an automobile accident occurring at the asphalt-paved intersection of Cleveland and Fortieth Streets in
Lincoln, Nebraska, at about 6:40 a.m. on April 15, 1966. It is an open intersection without stop signs or traffic signals.
Plaintiff Charles D. Flanagin was traveling south on Fortieth Street and defendant John S. DePriest was traveling east on
Cleveland Street. On trial to a jury, plaintiff received a verdict for $8,000. Defendant appeals. The evidence discloses that the area lying northwest of the intersection was level and open without obstructions except for
a building about 75 feet north from the corner. The front end of defendant's car struck the right side of plaintiff's car
at or behind the doors. The only skidmarks were those made by the cars sliding sidewise after the impact and measuring from
the point where the skidmarks appeared, it was 16 feet to the east curbline and 13 feet to the north curbline. Measuring from
the same point, it was 45 feet to where plaintiff's car rested against a tree straddling the east curbline south of the intersection
facing east by southeast, and 67 feet to where defendant's car rested over a mailbox straddling the south curb east of the
intersection. The entire front end of defendant's car was damaged and the right rear of plaintiff's car was damaged, the fuel
tank was ruptured, and the car had then burned. Debris was scattered about 75 feet to the east and 100 feet to the south.
