GLADNEY, Judge.
This action ex delicto was brought by the parents of twenty-two year old Pleas Watkins who was killed May 14, 1955, when struck by a truck owned by the Strickland Transportation Company, and driven by Edward J. Haas. The accident occurred on U. S. Highway 80 near the western limits of Greenwood, Caddo Parish, Louisiana, at about 1:00 o’clock a. m. Transport Insurance Company, the public liability insurer of the Strickland Transportation Company, and its insured are made party defendants. After trial, judgment was rendered rejecting the demands of plaintiffs, hence this appeal.
