Description
On March 5, 1945, the plaintiff, driving a Chevrolet coupe, was traveling south on a county road in Dona Ana County about four miles south of the village of Chamberino. As he neared the scene of the collision, he came to another county road running east and west and intersecting the north-south road at a right angle in such fashion as to form a T but without bisecting or extending through the east-west road. Without coming to a stop, he approached the intersection with his car in intermediate gear, traveling at a speed between 10 and 12 miles per hour. He did not proceed to center of the intersection on the right of the north-south road before turning to the left and east, there being some small mud holes from a recent rain in the intersection on south side of the east-west road. Accordingly, he cut the extreme northeast corner of the intersection of the east-west and north-south roads. He had traveled only 35 feet easterly on the north side of the east-west road when his coupe was struck in the rear, to the right of center, by the defendant's truck traveling east. The plaintiff's car from the force of the impact and its own momentum was propelled some 25 feet in the direction it was going, partially reversed its position, overturned and resulted in the injuries he complains of. When struck, the plaintiff's car was wholly on the north side of the east-west road and had negotiated about 35 feet thereof before being struck.
