Description
CALLISTER, Justice. This is an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages for the alleged wrongful death of his 5
1/2-year-old son, Robert Mann, Jr., who was struck and killed by an automobile driven by the defendant. Plaintiff appeals
from a jury verdict, and judgment thereon, in favor of the defendant. At approximately 10:45 of the morning of March 6, 1960, the defendant, accompanied by his young son, was driving his automobile
westerly on the north side of Wasatch Street in Midvale, Utah. At about 448 East on said street the automobile struck young
Robert Mann, Jr., inflicting injuries from which he died. The weather, at the time, was clear, the street dry and unobstructed
and the visibility good. The street at this point had a black-topped surface approximately 26 1/2 feet in width with a south
shoulder four feet in width and a north shoulder three feet in width. On the south side of the street there is a wire fence
about four feet south of the outer edge of the shoulder. Directly inside the fence are two rather large trees and outside
the fence are two telephone poles which, from the exhibits, appear to be about 15 feet apart. There is also a rural mail box
alongside the west telephone pole.
