Lindsey v. Gulf Ins. Co.

Early in the morning of December 8, 1940, while semi-darkness prevailed, a Buick automobile, owned by D.L. Garner and driven by C.M. Shoemaker with the owner's permission, struck a motor cycle and seriously injured the three riders thereon, they being R.E. Lindsey, Carl S. Williams and Charles H. Mitchell. All of the named persons were soldiers stationed at Barksdale Field in Bossier Parish, Louisiana.

Both vehicles were traveling south on U.S. Highway 71. The accident occurred at a point several miles south of the City of Shreveport.
