Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by This was an action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by a pedestrian who was struck by an automobile while crossing a street intersection. The cause was tried by a jury which found both parties guilty of negligence and returned a verdict for the defendant. On motion of the plaintiff the trial court set aside the verdict and granted her a new trial. The defendant appeals from those rulings. The pleadings are important only as they define the issues and all that need be said regarding them is that each party charges that negligence on the part of the other was the proximate and legal cause of the accident. Nor will it be necessary, in view of the scope of appellate review, to detail all the evidence adduced at the trial. For that reason the facts as hereinafter related will be based on our construction of the evidence of record and limited strictly to facts essential to a determination of the all decisive issue whether the trial court erred in sustaining the motion for a new trial.
