Description

On the morning of April 7, 1952, at approximately 7:30, appellee was driving his pickup truck in a southerly direction on state highway 18, about one mile north of Clovis, at a speed estimated by him from 50 to 55 miles per hour. At the same time appellant was driving a truck in a northerly direction. As they approached each other and when about forty feet apart, appellant, without giving any signal or warning, turned sharply to the left with the intention of entering a side road. He then observed a pool of water at the intersection of the side road and reduced his speed so as to avoid splashing the mud and water, thereby blocking appellee s lane of travel. Obviously, both drivers were negligent per se; appellant in failing to signal or give warning of his intention to make a left turn, 68-517, 1941 Comp., appellee in violating the speed law, 68-504(b) of the statute.
