Wright v. Kinslow

In these actions which were consolidated for trial, Ralph Wright and Norman Wright prosecute this appeal from a judgment dismissing their petitions against William Kinslow and James Kinslow. The judgment also dismissed appellees' counterclaim against appellants. This controversy arose out of the collision on the night of September 6, 1950, of an automobile operated by Ralph Wright with a truck driven by William Kinslow on U. S. Highway 68 near Glasgow, Kentucky. The facts of this case are in controversy but will not be stated in detail in this opinion. However, it is not disputed that it was dark at the time of the accident; that William Kinslow had backed his truck from a private lane onto the public highway; and that Ralph Wright was driving his car at a speed in excess of 35 miles per hour when it collided with the rear of Kinslow's truck.
