ing and that of the defendant,
which was driven by Rudolph Egort.
The crash took place June 20, 1884
on Sunnyside avenue at point
near the st. Margaret's school.
Judge Finn In his memorandum Of
decision found no evidence of negli-
gence on the part of the driver Of
the defendants car. but rather at
tributed the crash to the excitement
Of Joseph Santos, who was driving
the car in which the plaintiff was
riding.
Story Of Crash
Included In the opinion is the
entire story Of the circumstances of
the crash. The defendants auto was
the second of three automobiles
travelling in line along the Middle
bury road. The first automobile
pulled over to the side of the road
and stopped. the defendants car
pulled out slightly to pass by and
In so doing became involved in the
crash with the Santos vehicle. In
passing the halted car, Egort did
not go more than one foot to the
other side Of the road, at a place
where the view Of both drivers was
totally unobstructed.
Cause of Accident
The accident took place when
Santos, driving the plaintiffs car,
instead OF staying on his own side
of the road, suddenly swerved and
attempted to cut In between the de-
PENDANTS car and the one which
had pulled up to the side and
stopped.
