Description
Intersectional collision case in which plaintiff Patricia Bolhofner and her father sued Patricia's host-driver David McMahon and Edward E. Jones, driver of the other car. Before trial plaintiffs settled with McMahon for $14,123 and dismissed as to him. Upon trial against Jones plaintiffs had verdicts and judgments for $12,500 and $1,065. Defendant appeals, contending plaintiffs did not make a submissible case. The collision occurred at the intersection of east-west Lindbergh Boulevard and north-south Ringer Road. Lindbergh is a two-lane through highway; Ringer Road is a two-lane road with stop signs for cars entering Lindbergh. David McMahon, Patricia's host-driver, was headed south preparing to cross Lindbergh, upon which Jones was driving eastward. McMahon stopped at the stop sign. From this position he had an unobstructed view for 400 feet westward on Lindbergh and Jones could see the McMahon car from wherever he was within that zone of intervisibility when McMahon stopped at Lindbergh. McMahon then moved forward into Lindbergh across the path of Jones' eastbound car. When McMahon was midway across Lindbergh's center line his right front quarter was struck by the left front quarter of Jones' car, which was then in the proper eastbound lane of Lindbergh. After impact Jones' car moved on east, leaving 97 feet of skid marks and McMahon's car ""did a loop"" and stopped on Lindbergh just east of the intersection. Patricia was thrown onto the highway, receiving substantial injuries and at trial could not remember the collision.
