Overturf v. Bertrand

128 N.W.2d 182, 256 Iowa 596, 1964 Iowa Sup. LEXIS 778
Supreme Court of Iowa·Decided May 5, 1964·No. 51274·Published·Cited by 13 cases

Opinion

Moore, J.

This is a law action to recover for personal injuries sustained in a rear-end collision when plaintiff stopped her vehicle at the intersection of west Eighteenth -Street and Grand in Des Moines about 10:30 a.m., September 5, 1961. From a jury verdict and $7500 judgment defendant has appealed.

The intersection where this accident happened is so unusual and complicated that an understandable word description of it is almost impossible. We therefore insert here Exhibit 7 which is a photograph taken from the west looking about due east and from a point above the street level. It was taken when some snow was on the ground and in that respect does not represent the true condition as it existed on September 5. Otherwise it is a fair representation of the scene.
