Description
About 6:30 on the morning of December 30, 1940, appellee was driving his automobile east on Highway 6 approaching a bridge, and Harry Hamman, driver of appellant's truck, was approaching the bridge from the east on the highway. The bridge was 20 feet wide and the pavement 18 feet wide. The highway was straight and level for one-half mile west of the bridge and 1,000 feet east thereof. At the time of the accident it was dark and the pavement dry. The collision occurred from 75 to 110 feet east of the bridge. There is a conflict in the evidence. Appellee claims Hamman was driving to the left of the center of the highway at the time of the collision at a speed of 60 miles per hour and appellant claims appellee was driving on the wrong side of the road. The semitrailer truck weighed six tons and carried from six to seven tons of freight. Each driver wanted to avoid a meeting at the bridge.
