Ryans v. Empire Fire & Marine Insurance

LEMMON, Judge.

Both sets of defendants have appealed from a judgment holding them liable in solido for the damages sustained by two passengers on a public service bus in a two-vehicle collision. The two suits were consolidated for trial in the district court and for argument in this court, where all *854parties have stipulated that liability is the only issue to be decided.

The accident, which involved a public service bus and a tractor-trailer unit, occurred on the elevated Claiborne Avenue overpass in the City of New Orleans. The drivers of the vehicles gave conflicting versions of the occurrence.
