1Opinion of the Court
JANVIER, Judge.
Plaintiff is the owner of an automobile truck which was practically demolished when it was driven into the center supporting pier of an overhead railroad trestle on which there were located tracks of defendant, Illinois Central Railroad Company, and which trestle crosses the Jefferson Highway just below the town of I-Iarahan in this state. Although the driver of the truck was an employee of plaintiff, he was, at the time of the accident, not acting within the scope of his employment, and in fact had taken the truck for his own pleasure and without Becker’s knowledge or consent.
