Docket entry
051745 Burroughs v. Keffer 06/08/2006 In a personal injury action arising from a motor vehicle accident, reasonable persons could differ regarding the issue of whether, based on the evidence, the driver of a car that collided with a flatbed trailer parked in one lane of an undivided highway was guilty of contributory negligence. Thus, that issue was a question of fact for the jury, and the trial court erred in setting aside the jury's verdict in favor of the driver on the ground that the plaintiff was contributorily negligent as a matter of law. The judgment of the trial court is reversed and final judgment is entered in accordance with the jury's verdict.
