Langlois v. Rees

McDonough, justice.

This case concerns an automobile-pedestrian collision occurring in Salt Lake City. From entry of judgment on the verdict of no cause of action, plaintiff pedestrian appeals. The trial judge directed the jury that plaintiff was contributorily negligent, but he left to the jury the issue of causation. He also instructed the jury on negligence and last clear chance. The question raised on appeal is whether all reasonable minds must agree that plaintiff was contributorily negligent. The evidence must be viewed in the light most favorable to the plaintiff.
