D. A. Allred v. Charles D. Dobbs

GOODWYN, Justice. This case concerns a motor vehicle accident which occurred at the aircraft plant of Hayes International Corporation, located at the Birmingham Municipal Airport. Plaintiff's passenger car was damaged in a collision with defendant's truck while both vehicles were being driven, in the daytime in clear wheather, on an open concrete runway 375 feet wide which was used as a taxiway or towing strip for aircraft. There was judgment on a jury verdict in favor of plaintiff. Defendant brought this appeal from that judgment after his motion for a new trial was overruled.
