Ida and James Williams v. Zions

WORTHEN, Justice. Plaintiff Ida Williams, appellant in this court, appeals from a judgment of dismissal with prejudice at the close of plaintiffs case. Appellant brought suit for damages sustained when the car she was driving was struck by defendants truck. Plaintiff was proceeding south on B Street, a through street in Salt Lake City, at about 20 to 25 miles per hour. When plaintiff reached a point about 25 feet north of the intersection of Third Avenue and B Street, she saw defendants truck stopped at the stop sign on the west side of B Street. Plaintiff then looked to the east for westbound traffic and then proceeded through the intersection. B Street north of Third Avenue is 42 feet wide, and south is 40 feet. Third Avenue is 30 feet wide west of B Street, and east is 40 feet; each street has two lanes of traffic.
