Description
Action for damages for personal injuries resulting from collision of two automobiles. The jury found for plaintiff but the
trial court sustained defendant's motion to set aside the verdict and enter judgment in his favor. Plaintiff appealed from
the judgment entered for defendant. We transferred the case here on defendant's application after an opinion of the Kansas
City Court of Appeals reversing and remanding for another trial. The only testimony was that of plaintiff and a police officer. Plaintiff testified that on September 24, 1960, she was riding
as a passenger in the second or middle seat of a station wagon behind the driver, Robert White, who was taking plaintiff and
his own daughter to go horseback riding. The Rambler station wagon, in which plaintiff was a passenger, was going south on
Elmwood and was involved in a collision with another automobile at the intersection of Elmwood and Blue Parkway. There was
a stop sign for traffic on Elmwood and the defendant White stopped at the stop sign. When White started to make a left turn
to go east on Blue Parkway, his automobile was struck by a westbound car on Blue Parkway. The front end of White's station
wagon was almost to the middle of Blue Parkway when the accident occurred. The plaintiff saw the other vehicle just before
it hit and it was going west at that time. Plaintiff remembered nothing further after hitting her head on the back of the
seat until she woke up on the ground. At the time of the accident, the plaintiff was 13 years old.
