Heading: is the judgment supported by sufficient evidence?

Text: The driver urges that the trial court erred in finding that the driver failed to establish the farmer's negligence and consequently, in entering judgment for the farmer. This contention would require that we review the evidence. We refuse to do so. The accident occurred when the driver's car ran into the farmer's tractor and disc while the parties were traveling in the same direction on a state highway. The driver admitted in her narrative statement that because the rear of the tractor was equipped with a white light, she became confused and thought the tractor was a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction in her lane of traffic; and that after she took evasive action her car skidded into the slow-moving tractor. We find that reasonable inferences may be drawn from the statement that the collision resulted because the driver was following too closely, and failing to maintain either the proper lookout or the assured clear distance ahead. The findings of a trial court will not be disturbed for insufficient evidence if there is any evidence including any reasonable inferences drawn therefrom to support its finding. [9] AFFIRMED. BARNES, C.J., HODGES, LAVENDER, DOOLIN, OPALA, ALMA WILSON, concurring. SIMMS, V.C.J., concurs in result. HARGRAVE, J., excused.
