Ison v. Stewart‪.‬

Klaversma, doing business as the South Denver Coal Company, had for some time employed several men with trucks to transport coal from northern Colorado mines to Denver. About two oclock in the afternoon of October 20, 1936, defendant Ison was returning to Denver on North Federal boulevard with about four and onehalf tons of coal on the Klaversma truck. At the same time Stewart was driving north in a Dodge sedan on the same highway. He intended making a left turn into a road leading to Westminster, which road intersected the boulevard at a point about three and a half miles north of the Denver city limits. The truck was one of several vehicles in a line of traffic approaching Denver. Because of the traffic, Stewart had brought his car to a complete stop, with the front wheels turned slightly to the left, preparatory to proceeding into the side road after the traffic had passed. The line of traffic coming toward Stewart was proceeding on a down grade from the top of what is known as "Mushroom Hill," a long hill immediately to the north of the intersection. It was snowing or sleeting and the road was admittedly slippery. The United States weather bureau report of that date shows that four and a half inches of snow fell during the day.
