Supreme Court of Missouri
1Opinion of the Court
HOLMAN, Commissioner.
On the early morning of December 27, 1953, Edwin J. Kastner was killed when his automobile struck a curbing on the north side of Eads Bridge, veered to the opposite side and crashed through a railing on the bridge, thence falling to the ground. The deceased, a bachelor, was survived by his father and a brother. This suit was instituted by his administrator who alleged that the father, 78 years old, was deprived of financial support by reason of Edwin Kastner’s death. The trial resulted in a verdict for plaintiff in the sum of $10,000. Defendant has duly appealed.
