Leach v. Weiss

On July 3, 1966, defendants Weiss were traveling easterly on Interstate 5 toward Tacoma, towing a small camping trailer. As they approached the Nisqually bridge, a tire on the trailer blew out, dislodging the hubcap. Weiss stopped the car and trailer on the bridge proper, retrieved the hubcap, and started to remove the flat tire. He directed his daughter to warn oncoming traffic and to set out reflectors on the highway. Eastbound traffic had to use the inside lane to pass Weisses’ disabled car and trailer. Traffic moved past the trailer at the rate of about 20 miles per hour.
