The driver of plaintiff's loaded logging truck and trailer, traveling east between Forks and Port Angeles, made a left turn off the highway in order to park at the Lake Sutherland store while he had coffee and discussed with another of plaintiff's drivers a possible emergency with reference to the condition of the latter's load. The surfaced part of the highway at that point was nineteen feet and nine inches wide and was divided into east and west bound traffic lanes by a center stripe. Some 375 feet east of where the truck and trailer were parked there was a curve in the road which cut off the view beyond.
