Description
The defendant testified that he first saw the decedent when he was 8 to 10 feet from him. The bridge was 20 feet long. Stott was carried to a point about 80 feet south of the bridge and the car stopped fifty feet beyond, going some 160 feet from the point of first vision. The headlights of the car satisfied the statutory requirement. The road was straight for a distance of 175 feet north of the bridge and 200 feet north of it the lights of a south-bound car would show straight ahead. The judgment of the defendant was that under the then prevailing conditions of a clear night and a dry road surface he could have stopped in 65 to 90 feet at his estimated speed of 30 to 35 miles per hour. The impact took place on the left front of the car between the fender and the hood. Shattered glass from the left headlight was found in the left lane near the north end of the bridge. The headlight itself became detached and lay off the highway to the east about 65 feet southerly of the glass. The body lay in the left lane with the feet nearer the bridge two and one half feet from the center line and the head a little over three feet from the easterly edge of the cement. One of Stott's shoes was found about 15 feet south of the bridge a little to the west of the center line of the highway.
