Keizor v. Sand Springs Railway Co.

OPINION

HUNTER, Judge:

Appellant’s husband, Billy Lee Keizor, was accidentally killed during the course of his employment with Sheffield Steel Corporation (Sheffield) of Sands Springs, Oklahoma. Mr. Keizor was fatally injured when he tried to manually couple Sheffield-owned rail cars, a procedure necessitated because the automatic couplers had failed to engage. The Sheffield rail cars were only used on the 160 acre Sheffield industrial site and only used by Sheffield workers. Appellee owns the track upon which the Sheffield cars ride, but Sheffield maintains the track.

Appellant brought suit in…
