Salsbury v. United Parcel Service Inc.

Plaintiff sues for property damage to his automobile which occurred when his wife attempted to drive through a space to the left of the defendant’s double-parked truck.

The accident took place on September 18, 1952, at about 11:30 a.m., on West 87th Street, between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive, in the borough of Manhattan. This is a one-way street going west. There were cars parked on both sides of the street. The defendant was double-parked, by necessity, in order to make deliveries of goods in the course of its business. The truck at all times remained stationary.
