Description
In this case plaintiff was a passenger in an automobile involved in a collision with a tractor-trailer unit operated on defendant's
behalf. Plaintiff received a verdict and judgment in the amount of $10,000.00. Defendant appeals. The accident in which plaintiff was injured occurred at about nine o'clock a.m. on June 12, 1964, a clear, dry day, on U.S.
Highway 66, at the northwest edge of St. Clair, Missouri. At that point, the highway runs generally east and west. The two
westbound lanes are divided from the two eastbound lanes by a grassy median. Each westbound lane is concrete and 12 feet wide.
Along the north or right side of the westbound lanes is a solid, gravel shoulder 12 feet wide. The road is straight for a
considerable distance in the vicinity of the accident and westbound traffic is traveling downhill. The crest of the hill is
about 1,000 to 1,500 feet east of the point of the accident. Both vehicles were traveling westwardly. The accident accurred
on or just north of the westbound lanes at a private gravel drive which intersects the north edge of the highway and leads
back northeastwardly to a plant operated by the Steelweld Corporation. This private drive is about 20 feet wide with the mouth
of it being somewhat wider. The east edge of the drive is lower than the west edge and the east curb of the drive is broken
down at the end of a culvert running under the drive. Directly south of the private drive is a cross-over between the two
westbound lanes and the two eastbound lanes.
