Beatty v. Donahue

Johnny Parkers automobile, headed west on a two-lane highway at night, ran into the back of Christine Meltons automobile which, with a flat tire, was stopped in the west-bound traffic lane. The force of the collision impelled the Melton car forward some 12 feet into the front of the car of Alton Redden, which was stopped, facing east, in the west-bound lane. Redden, who had been engaged in fixing the tire on the Melton car, was caught between his car and the Melton car and sustained serious injuries. Mrs. Melton suffered some personal injuries and her car was damaged slightly. Parkers car also incurred minor damage.
