Description
This case is before the Law Court on general motion for new trial filed by each of two defendants after jury verdict for the plaintiff in Superior Court for York County. This is an action for negligence and, while the witnesses differ in some details, the principal facts appear to be as follows: On August 20, 1948 at about 8 M.R.S.A. 30 P. M., the plaintiff, Philip Spang, Jr., was driving a Ford sedan in an easterly direction on ""Guinea Road"" in Biddeford. The defendant, Robert Cote, in a Farmall Tractor with trailer loaded with hay, was ahead of the plaintiff and headed in the same easterly direction as was the plaintiff, but Cote had stopped or parked, because of tire difficulty, on the righthand side of the tar surface. The defendant Cote did not attempt to drive off the road into a driveway, or onto the shoulder of the road. The Cote tractor and trailer of hay were not disabled but a trailer tire was rubbing. The defendant, Louis Daigle, in a Chevrolet sedan that was headed in a westerly, or opposite direction, had come along the highway and had stopped to speak to the defendant Cote, who was on the tractor.
