Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Joseph R. Huddleston, Huddleston Brothers, Bowling Green, for appellee/cross-appellant.

Before HOWERTON, LESTER and WHITE, JJ.

HOWERTON, Judge.

On September 2, 1972, James Thompson, while driving his truck on the Kentucky Turnpike (now Interstate 65), collided into the back of James Walker's tractor trailer. Appellant's testimony was that as he approached the Shepherdsville toll booth, he applied his brakes, but they failed to work. He then attempted to down shift, but this was unsuccessful; and before he had a chance to do anything else, he ran into the back of appellee's truck.
