Higgins, J.,
dissenting: I think the evidence warrants the inference that the defendant’s truck was in the act of turning to the left of the center of the intersection at the time of the accident. The plaintiff had a right to assume and to act on the assumption the driver would obey the law and make the turn to the right of the center; and if he had done so, the plaintiff may have had sufficient time to avoid the accident. It is my view that the issues of negligence and contributory negligence should have been submitted to the jury.
I vote to reverse.
Johnson, J., concurs in dissent.
