Karp v. Powers

Plaintiff was traveling as passenger in an automobile bus belonging to defendant, going along the Jefferson Highway from Port Allen, in the parish of West Baton Rouge, to Maringouin, in the parish of Iberville. When about two or three miles from Rosedale, a village on said route, the bus skidded into a side ditch and slipped sideways to an inclined position, the right front and rear wheels going to the bottom of the ditch. Another passenger, a very corpulent gentleman, who was sitting on the left or opposite side of the bus, fell on plaintiff, causing a fracture of plaintiff’s forearm.
