S.A. Gerrard Co. V. Couch

ROSS, C. J. R. K. Couch and John Reid, by his guardian ad litem, C. C. Reid, each sued S. A. Gerrard Company upon separate causes of action for personal injuries sustained when the car in which they were riding ran into and against a GMC truck of defendant parked on public highway 66, about one and one-half miles east of Holbrook, Arizona, without any head or tail lights or other warning. The defendant's answer consisted of a general denial and the defense of contributory negligence on the part of plaintiffs. The trial was before a jury which returned verdicts for plaintiffs and upon which judgments were entered. The defendant has appealed therefrom.
