Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Plaintiff, a pedestrian at the time, while crossing a highway, was struck by a car driven by defendant. He brought this action to recover for his personal injuries. The jury found for defendant. Plaintiff's motions to set aside the verdict and for a new trial were overruled and judgment was entered for defendant. Plaintiff has appealed. Plaintiff was a resident of Emporia and was a dealer in horses. On a Sunday morning in February, he drove to Madison where he met Martin Hoobler. They drove their respective vehicles back to a point just west of Emporia where plaintiff had a horse-lot. They arrived there about 10 o'clock in the morning. Plaintiff parked his car partly on the right (north) shoulder of the east-west highway. Hoobler parked his truck 19.5 feet behind plaintiff's car in the same relative position. The highway was blacktop and was 24 feet wide. It was a cold day but the weather was clear and the highway dry. There was nothing to obstruct vision for a considerable distance in either direction. The point where they stopped was in ""open country"" and was just opposite plaintiff's horse-lot. They removed a horse from Hoobler's truck and took it across the highway
