Description
The decedent, 82 years of age, was driving his car at a slow rate of speed in a westerly direction as he approached the entrance to his sons [appellants] driveway. The driveway was on the south side of the highway. Appellee Lovelady, a salesman for appellee Jackson Cookie Company, was driving a truck in an easterly direction at a speed of approximately 40 to 50 miles per hour as he approached decedents automobile. There was testimony that the decedent had his arm out the window giving a signal. Appellee Lovelady testified that he could see decedents vehicle, apparently stopped, at a distance of 200 to 250 yards and observed no signal being given until he got closer; that the decedent stayed in the westbound or his proper traffic lane until appellee was 50 to 60 feet from him when decedent turned to his left into the eastbound or appellees traffic lane where the fatal collision occurred. Appellee swerved to avoid the collision. According to appellee, he never at any time slowed the speed of his vehicle. The issues of negligence, based upon appellants complaint and appellees answer and counterclaim, were submitted to the jury which denied damages to both parties. From the judgment on this verdict appellant brings this appeal.
