Description
December 4, 1950. This is an action under Lord Campbell's Act, Sections 411 and 412 of the 1942 Code, to recover damages for the alleged wrongful death of George Lee Conyers, who died instantly as a result of injuries received in a collision between an automobile driven by him and a freight train of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, which occurred about 9:20 P.M., on Saturday, March 19, 1949, at a crossing within the corporate limits of the town of Pinewood, where the main line and a side track of the Railroad Company are intersected by State Highway No. 261. The case was tried in January, 1950, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff against the Railroad Company, the engineer, and the conductor in charge of the train, all of whom were joined as parties defendant, in the sum of $3,250.00. From the judgment entered thereon, the defendants have appealed and state the question involved as follows: ""Did the trial court err in refusing to direct a verdict or grant judgment non obstante veredicto for the defendants upon the ground that the only inference to be drawn from the entire testimony was that the death of plaintiff's intestate was due, caused and occasioned, or contributed to, as a proximate cause thereof by his own negligence, gross negligence, recklessness and willfullness, as a matter of law?""
