Pittman v. Calhoun

FOSTER, Justice.

This is a suit for damages for personal injuries to plaintiff caused by defendant in negligently driving a car against him while plaintiff was walking along the public road. Plaintiff was walking on the left side of the road meeting defendant driving his car on his right side. It was at night, and plaintiff claimed that he was on the shoulder in the grass, by the side of the road, and defendant seemed to be driving directly toward him, when he jumped into the road to avoid the collision and then defendant suddenly veered his car to his left back into the road and hit plaintiff.
