Appeal by plaintiff from Pless, J., September Term, 1955, Ruther-eord.
Affirmed.
Civil action for wrongful death growing out of an automobile-truck collision.
Plaintiff’s intestate, her husband, was operating his automobile when it collided with a truck being operated by an employee of defendant company. Each party alleges that as the automobiles approached each other, going in opposite directions, the other failed to turn reasonably to the right of his side of the road, and a head-on collision resulted. Plaintiff’s intestate died as a result thereof. Issues of negligence and contributory negligence were submitted to the jury, and both were answered in the affirmative. From judgment on the verdict the plaintiff appealed.
Ray S. Farris and James B. Ledford for plaintiff appellant.
