Description
This is an action in tort for alleged negligence in the operation of an automobile. Trial by jury resulted in a verdict for the defendant and the case is here on the plaintiffs exceptions. The accident out of which the action arose occurred at about 4:30 P.M. on Dec. 20, 1941. The plaintiff while walking northerly on Elm Street in the City of Montpelier, or in attempting to cross the street, was struck from the rear and injured by an automobile driven by the defendant. Snow had been plowed from the roadway and formed a bank on either side which was two feet high or more. There was a sidewalk on the easterly side of Elm Street but none on the westerly side in this locality. The plaintiff walked northerly on the sidewalk until he reached Cummings Street which comes into Elm Street from the east. He then turned into the roadway of Elm Street with the intention of proceeding therein until he reached the driveway leading to his daughters home on the westerly side of the street some 75 feet northerly of Cummings Street. Had he continued farther north on the sidewalk it would have been necessary for him to wade through the easterly snowbank in order to cross the street to his daughters house. The defendant and the plaintiff were the only eye witnesses and they are not in agreement as to the details of the accident although they are agreed that the plaintiff had crossed the middle of the street when he was struck.
