Louisiana Court of Appeal

1Opinion of the Court
TATE, Judge.
Clarence Huval was killed as the result of a collision between his truck and a vehicle driven by Terry Bodin. The decedent’s widow and seven children sue Bodin and his insurer for wrongful death damages. The plaintiffs appeal from the dismissal of their suit.
The plaintiffs chiefly contend that the trial court erred in not finding that the sole cause of the accident was Bodin’s grossly excessive speed.
The accident occurred at an intersection in a residential area. A 25 mph speed limit regulated traffic. The weather was clear and dry on the Sunday morning (7:00 A.M.) of the accident.
