Metcalf v. Cerio

This is an appeal from a superior court judgment resulting from the setting aside of two default judgments in a civil action for negligence.

It appears from the record before us that on March 20, 1966, James H. Metcalf was the operator of a motor vehicle in which his minor son was a passenger when said motor vehicle was involved in a collision with one operated by defendant. The collision occurred at the intersection of two highways in the city of Cranston, resulting in property damage to plaintiff’s motor vehicle and personal injuries to both father and son.
