Alaska Brick Company v. McCoy

DIMOND, Justice.

This case is before us for the second time.

Appellant’s truck had been left unattended, without flares or lights or other warning signals, in its proper lane of traffic on the Seward Highway. While driving to Seward, appellee collided with the rear end of the truck and was injured. He brought suit for injuries and the jury returned a verdict in his favor. The trial court granted appellant’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict on the ground that appellee was contributorily negligent as a matter of law. The court did not rule on appellant’s motion for a new trial.
