March 21, 1969.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Clarence Bartlett, Woodward, Bartlett & McCarroll, Owensboro, William E. Quisenberry, Calhoun, for appellant.

Kenneth Ragland, Calhoun, John D. Miller, Owensboro, Chas. A. Williams & Associates, Paducah, for appellee.


CLAY, Commissioner.

In this motor vehicle collision case the plaintiff appellee recovered $15,000 for personal injuries. The principal issue on this appeal is the excessiveness of damages.

The automobile which plaintiff was driving collided with a tractor-trailer truck approaching from the opposite direction on a curve. It was raining hard and apparently the truck skidded into the wrong lane. Plaintiff's wife died of injuries suffered in this accident.
