Description
WADE, Justice. Defendants Arthur R. and J. H. Allen appeal from a judgment on a jury verdict awarding damages against them for the death of Thomas Udell Mecham, and injuries to his wife Flora S. Mecham, plaintiff and respondent here, and their three minor children. The injuries resulted from a collision between a Chevrolet car, driven by the decedent in which plaintiff and their children were riding, and a large tractor-trailer equipped for hauling livestock, driven by Arthur R. Allen as employee of the other defendant, J. H. Allen, his father, accompanied by Dale Mousley, a substitute driver. The collision occurred on July 4, 1950 about noon on the Prove Canyon road below Bridal Veil Falls, where there is a curve to the left for down canyon traffic. There were two lanes in the hard surface of the road, with a double line painted in the center. On each side of the hard surface was a gravel shoulder and the Provo River runs down the canyon southeast of the road. The Mecham car was traveling up the canyon toward the northeast and the tractor-trailer coming down in the opposite direction. The traffic was unusually heavy, it being a holiday and shortly after the Independence Day parade in Provo. The left side of the front of the car ran into the left side of the tractor-trailer, killing Mecham and injuring the others in his family.
