Description
[1] The tragic accident that resulted in Mrs. Verbeckmoes' death occurred about 5:30 p.m. on November 8, 1941. In some manner she was struck by defendant's truck, driven by Kenneth Knutson, and hurled to the parking in front of her own home in Clear Lake. She died about thirty minutes later in the doctor's office without regaining consciousness. In this suit, brought by the executrix against the employer of Knutson, plaintiff relied largely upon circumstantial evidence to establish the driver's negligence. Defendant's motion for directed verdict at the close of all the testimony, on the grounds that the evidence failed to establish the driver's negligence and Mrs. Verbeckmoes' freedom from contributory negligence, was sustained by the court. We will first examine the evidence tending to establish the driver's negligence.
