Flounders v. Southern Pennsylvania Traction Co.

Opinion by

Mr. Justice Kephart,

Appellee was injured in a right-angled collision when his automobile was struck by a street car. His view along the highway for some distance from the track was entirely obstructed by a high bank, trees, etc., until within close proximity to the rails.
