Description
The appellees, O. Fred Adams and his wife, recovered judgments totaling $10,500 for personal injuries and property damage sustained in a collision between their car and a bus operated by the appellant. We discuss two of the appellant's contentions, as one necessitates a reversal and the other [216 Ark Page 507] goes to the question of whether the case should be dismissed. On the latter point it is Contended that the defendant below was entitled to an instructed verdict because its negligence was not proved and Adams' contributory negligence was established as a matter of law. This argument must be rejected. The appellees, residents of Clark County, were driving along Central Avenue in the city of Hot Springs at about noon on June 29, 1948. Adams, who had not traveled this street before, saw just ahead a traffic signal that intermittently flashed a red light. He testified that he threw out his hand and stopped as quickly as possible. A second or so later the appellant's bus struck the rear end of his car, knocking the vehicle fifteen feet or more and causing the injuries and property damage complained of.
