Description
This court has allowed plaintiff, Mary E. Hering, leave to appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Court (13 Ill. App.2d 132)
which reversed a judgment of the circuit court of McDonough County, entered on a jury verdict allowing plaintiff $7,000 as
damages for personal injuries sustained in a collision between plaintiff's automobile and the truck driven by defendant, Garlin
Hilton. From the record it appears that on June 4, 1952, around noon, plaintiff Mary E. Hering, accompanied by her father, who died
shortly after this accident, was driving the family car in an easterly direction on a State highway at a speed of about 55
to 60 miles per hour in the country area outside of Bushnell, Illinois. At about a mile and one-half west of Bushnell, the
highway, which runs east and west, intersects a gravel road running north and south. Plaintiff testified that as she came
over the bridge she saw defendant's truck on the south side of the gravel road, about two feet south of the concrete highway
when her car was about 150 feet from the intersection. She stated that defendant was not looking in her direction and she
blew her car horn. The truck, however, merely increased its speed as it came onto the highway, so that when plaintiff's car
reached the center of the intersection the left front side of her car collided into the middle of the truck, which kept moving
in a northerly direction and pulled plaintiff's car along with it for several feet. Plaintiff also introduced evidence that
defendant was fined for a right-of-way violation arising out of this collision, and her evidence relating to the permanent
injuries she sustained was uncontroverted.
