Beetha Giguere v. Boston & Maine Railroad

These actions arose out of a collision between a street car of the railroad, hereafter called the defendant, and an automobile owned and operated by Grinnell. Bertha Giguere was a passenger on the street car. She is suing for personal injuries; her husband, Edward, for loss of consortium. At the time of the collision the street car was proceeding in a southerly direction at a place on its right of way north of Concord where the tracks run practically parallel with and about six feet east of the Daniel Webster highway. Grinnell was operating his car along that highway in a northerly direction in a line of cars. The automobile ahead of Grinnell stopped suddenly. Grinnell applied his brakes, but finding that he could not stop soon enough to avoid striking the automobile ahead, swerved to his right onto the car tracks where he was struck by the south bound car.
