Amanda Wehrkamp v. Watkins Motor Lines

Plaintiff brought this action in the sum of $25,000 for the wrongful death of her minor son Raymond Hughes who died instantly
as a result of injuries sustained in a highway collision between a northbound Chevrolet two door sedan in which Raymond was
riding as a passenger and an eastbound tractor trailer truck owned and operated by defendant Watkins Motor Lines, Inc., hereinafter
referred to as Watkins. Plaintiff's petition stated certain acts of negligence in driving at a high, fast and dangerous rate of speed at the time,
failure to keep a careful and proper lookout, and failure to yield the right of way on the part of James Albert Judkins alleged
by plaintiff to have been the driver of the Chevrolet in which her minor son, Raymond Hughes, was riding as a passenger. Both
Raymond Hughes and James Albert Judkins were killed instantly in the collision and this action was prosecuted against Hazel
K. Judkins, Administratrix of the estate of James Albert Judkins, deceased. The petition also alleged certain acts of negligence
on the part of defendant Watkins.
