Citation | 66 S.W.2d 28,252 Ky. 13 |
Parties | HULS v. DALZELL. |
Court | Kentucky Court of Appeals |
Appeal from Circuit Court, Bourbon County.
Suit by Sallie Dalzell against David Huls. From a judgment in favor of plaintiff, defendant appeals.
Affirmed.
Gene Lair, of Paris, for appellant.
Raymond Connell and Ralph Connell, both of Paris, for appellee.
This is a suit brought for personal injuries received by the appellee in a collision between a truck owned by the appellant and driven by his agent and an automobile owned by the appellee's husband and in which she was riding at the time of the accident. On the trial, the appellee recovered a verdict for $1,000, and, from the judgment entered on that verdict, this appeal is prosecuted.

We are of opinion that the first ground relied upon is without merit.
The second ground relied upon for reversal is the error in refusing an instruction asked for by appellant. At the time of the accident, the automobile in which appellee was riding was in charge of her husband, who was the owner of the car. Although the overwhelming weight of the evidence is to the effect that this automobile was standing still beside the curb and the truck of the appellant in making a left-hand turn into the street where this automobile was parked, ran too close to the automobile and collided with it, yet it is true that the chauffeur in charge of the truck did testify that in making this left-hand turn, he swung wide enough to miss the automobile and it was due to the driver of the automobile letting his car roll into the back end...
