Description
RUGG, Chief Justice. These are two actions of tort whereby the plaintiff seeks to recover compensation for injuries to his person and for damages to an automobile owned by him as the result of a collision with a motor vehicle owned by the defendants, in one case, and negligently operated by their agent, one Berglund, in the course of his employment, the defendant in the other case. The cases were tried in a district court before a special Justice. There was evidence tending to show that upon a public way the plaintiff, operating his automobile, and the defendant Berglund, operating an automobile truck owned by the other defendants, were approaching each other. The plaintiff was driving on his right hand side of the road. At his right was a stone wall. Berglund was driving on his left hand side of the road in the path of the oncoming automobile of the plaintiff and was not looking ahead but into a field at his left. The truck was moving at a speed of about thirty-five miles an hour. The plaintiff reduced the speed of his automobile and sounded the horn continuously, but the defendant Berglund continued in the same course. When the two motor vehicles were about fifteen or twenty feet apart, the plaintiff, in an effort to avoid collision, turned sharply to his left. At the same moment Berglund turned sharply to his right. The two motor vehicles came together in the middle of the road and both went six to eight feet before stopping. When the motor vehicles stopped, the right front wheel of the truck was over about one foot on the shoulder on the right side off the macadam and the right rear wheel of the * * * truck was at the edge of the macadam and the front of the plaintiffs automobile was up against the left side of the * * * truck.
