GARDNER, Chief Judge.
I concur in the result. In my view the only evidence warranting the submission of the case to a jury was the evidence to the effect that plaintiff as he approached the *1014center of the Street was looking in the opposite direction from defendant’s approaching car. A jury might find that the defendant should have observed this fact indicating that plaintiff was oblivious to defendant’s approaching car, thus evidencing a fixed purpose on the part- of plaintiff to pass into the path of danger. If, after he made, or in the exercise of proper care should have made, such discovery, defendant could reasonably have avoided the accident, then it was his duty to do so and liability would attach. Teague v. Plaza Express Co., 354 Mo. 582, 190 S.W.2d 254.
