Interstate Veneer Co. v. Edwards

1. W. Edwards, Jr., died as a result of injuries received when the car he was driving was struck by a truck owned by Interstate Veneer Company, Inc., and driven by its agent, James Vaughan. The administrator of Edwards brought this action against Interstate and Vaughan, charging that the death of Edwards was caused by the negligence of Vaughan in fading to keep a proper lookout and in driving his truck at great speed on his left-hand side of the load. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $15,000, upon which the trial court entered judgment.
