Carcione v. Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn Railroad
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided March 2, 1932PublishedCited by 13 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtWait, J.
The plaintiff’s intestate was killed in 'a collision between an automobile which he was driving and an electric train of the defendant at a grade crossing on Shepard Street, a public highway in Lynn. It is admitted that the defendant’s negligence contributed to the accident. The crucial question is whether there was evidence which would sustain a finding that the intestate in approaching the crossing reduced the speed of his vehicle to a reasonable and proper rate and proceeded cautiously over the crossing as required by G. L. c. 90, § 15.
